Distinctive Clinical, Psychological, and Histological Features of Postinfective Irritable Bowel Syndrome
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
