Abstract
We describe the course of 7 patients younger than 2 years with Crohn's disease. Prolonged remission was achieved medically (5) or surgically (1), whereas one patient died of disseminated adenovirus. Three had malnutrition and growth failure. Crohn's disease very early in life does not always imply a poor prognosis; however, significant morbidity and mortality are encountered.
