RESUMO
A síndrome do intestino irritável (SII) é um distúrbio funcional do trato gastrointestinal, caracterizado por dor abdominal e alterações do hábito intestinal, não explicadas por anormalidades bioquímicas ou orgânicas. Embora a maioria dos pacientes relate início insidioso dos sintomas, em um subgrupo eles aparecem após episódio de gastroenterite aguda, denominada SII pós-infecciosa (SII-PI). Os agentes infecciosos envolvidos incluem vírus, parasitas e bactérias patogênicas. O tratamento da SII-PI é semelhante ao da SII idiopática. Antibióticos e probióticos são terapias promissoras
ABSTRACT
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a funcional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits, not explained by any organic or biochemical abnormalities. Although most patients describe an insidious onset of symptoms, a subgroup of individuals describes the onset of IBS symptoms following an episode of acute gastroenteritis, know as post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS). The infectious agents involved in the development of PI-IBS include pathogenic bacteria, parasites and viruses. Treatment of PI-IBS is similar to that idiopathic IBS. Antibiotics and probiotics appear to represent promising therapies in PI-IBS
