Distinctive features of postinfective irritable bowel syndrome       07/28/03 03:18 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Distinctive clinical, psychological, and histological features of postinfective irritable bowel syndrome Simon P. Dunlop M.Sc. a , David Jenkins M.D. b and Robin C. Spiller M.D. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract Objective Irritable bowel syndrome after gastroenteritis is well recognized. Our aim was to determine whether postinfective IBS (PI-IBS) has histological or clinical features that are distinct from those of IBS patients with no history of preceding infection. Methods A total of 75 consecutive IBS outpatients and 36 healthy control subjects completed a questionnaire detailing symptoms, mode of onset, and previous psychiatric history. All underwent a full diagnostic workup including rectal biopsy, which included immunostaining and quantification for lamina propria or intraepithelial T lymphocytes, serotonin-containing enterochromaffin (EC), and mast cells. Patients were divided according to onset of symptoms into PI-IBS (n = 23) or non–PI-IBS (n = 52) patients. Results Diarrhea predominance occurred more frequently in PI-IBS (70%) than in non–PI-IBS (42%) patients (p = 0.03). A history of previous treatment for anxiety or depression was present in 26% of PI-IBS patients compared to 54% of non–PI-IBS (p = 0.02). Biopsy results for all patients were normal using conventional criteria; however, quantification revealed that PI-IBS showed increased EC cells compared to those of non–PI-IBS patients (p = 0.017) and controls (p = 0.02). Lamina propria T lymphocytes were increased in PI-IBS (p = 0.026) and non–PI-IBS (p = 0.011) patients compared to controls. Mast cells were increased in non–PI-IBS patients (p = 0.054) compared to controls. Conclusions Individuals with PI-IBS are a clinically distinct subgroup characterized by diarrheal symptoms, less psychiatric illness, and increased serotonin-containing EC cells compared to those with non–PI-IBS. web page -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
