ABSTRACT

Although is not clearly known what causes irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it has been proposed that this disease has a multifactorial etiology in which multiple agents interact to produce motor and sensory disturbances in the enteric nervous system. Infections, emotional disorders and diet are some of the factors that have been associated with IBS. The probability that the alterations in the intestinal flora or microbiota may play a role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), has begun to attract scientific attention recently, following the description of post-infectious IBS, the role of bacterial overgrowth and the use of antibiotics and probiotics in the management of IBS. This review discusses the most relevant information about innovative aspects of the pathophysiology of IBS and its relationship to infection.
