TL;DR
Serology failed to find evidence of participation by 19 common viruses, C. psittaci, and M. pneumoniae in Crohn disease, and the hypothesis that persistent measles virus infection causesCrohn disease is not supported.
Abstract
Serology failed to find evidence of participation by 19 common viruses, C. psittaci, and M. pneumoniae in Crohn disease. The data do not support the hypothesis that persistent measles virus infection causes Crohn disease.

A microtechnique (modified Takatsy) is described which can be applied to complement fixation, hemagglutination, hemagenesis inhibition and metabolic inhibition tests andComparative data obtained with the micro- and standard systems establish the reliability and validity of the microsystem.

The observations suggest that measles virus is capable of causing persistent infection of the intestine and that Crohn's disease may be caused by a granulomatous vasculitis in response to this virus.

63 Citations1979E.T. Swarbrick, Howard Price +5 more
There was no evidence of chlamydial infection in Crohn's disease and no indication either that cytomegalovirus alters the outcome of acute attacks or that infection with Y. enterocolitica is being misdiagnosed as Crohn’s disease.

57 Citations1982R L Gebhard, Harry B. Greenberg +5 more
Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were observed longitudinally, and disease exacerbations were rarely associated with rotavirus, Norwalk agent, or adenovirus infection, primarily because these infection rates were very low.

50 Citations1998Line Nielsen, Nete Munk Nielsen +4 more
It has been suggested that people exposed to measles in utero may be at high risk of developing Crohn's disease in adulthood, and a record linkage study in Denmark found that this association was surprisingly strong.
