Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVES To examine the microflora of the upper small intestine in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using a combination of microbial cultivation and tests for microbial metabolic activity. METHODS Twenty five patients with seropositive RA, 12 achlorhydric control subjects, and 11 control subjects with normal gastric acid secretion were investigated. Disease activity was ...

et al,' in which the authors demonstrated an altered character in the small bowel's bacterial flora in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. However, the authors did not demonstrate the presence of bacterial overgrowth. The syndrome of bacterial overgrowth is characterised by diarrhoea with malabsorption. The mechanism by which the bacterial overgrowth causes symptoms is not known. These symptoms...
متن کاملSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
As part of a study to assess the possible contribution of lymphoid infiltration of the gastrointestinal mucosa to occult blood loss or malabsorption 20 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) had a lactulose hydrogen breath test. In 10 cases (50%) a small intestinal peak was detected, suggesting small bowel bacterial overgrowth, and this was confirmed in seven patients by the positive...
متن کاملSmall Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is characterized by an overgrowth of various types of bacteria in the small intestine, bacteria which are largely only found in the colon. SIBO was initially thought of as a rare condition; however, it is now recognized as a more prevalent digestive disorder than previously acknowledged. A meta-analysis has shown the prevalence of SIBO to be approxim...
متن کاملSmall intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
Despite the current increase in interest in the role of the microbiota in health and disease and the recognition, for over 50 years, that an excess of colonic-type flora in the small intestine could lead to a malabsorption syndrome, small intestinal overgrowth remains poorly defined. This lack of clarity owes much to the difficulties that arise in attempting to arrive at consensus with regard t...
