Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Previous reports describe 30-40% of small intestine
bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), SIBO is a cause of
persistent symptoms in this group of patients even when they are treated with pancreatic
enzymes. Aim: To asses the frequency of SIBO in patients with CP. Patients and methods: We
studied 14 patients with CP using an hydrogen breath test with lactulose to detect SIBO, a
nonabsorbable carbohydrate, whose results are not influenced by the presence of exocrine
insufficiency. Main symptoms and signs were bloating in 9 (64%), recurrent abdominal pain
in 8 (57%), intermittent diarrhea in 5 (36%) and steatorrhea in 5 (36%). At the same time we
studied a healthy control group paired by age and sex. Results: SIBO was present in 13 of 14
patients with CP (92%) and in 1 of 14 controls (p<0.001). The only patient with CP and
without SIBO was recently diagnosed and had minimal morphologic alterations in computed
tomography and endoscopic pancreatography. Conclusions: SIBO is common in CP and may
be responsible for persistent symptoms. Proper diagnosis and treatment could alleviate symptoms
and improve quality of life | en_US |
