Background Determination of fecal calprotectin can provide an important guidance for the physician, also in primary care, in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders, meanly between inflammatory bowel diseases and irritable bowel syndrome. Objectives The aims of the present study were to prospectively investigate, in Brazilian adults with gastrointestinal complaints, the value of fecal calprotectin as a biomarker for the differential diagnosis between functional and organic disorders and to correlate the concentrations with the activity of inflammatory bowel diseases. Methods The study included consecutive patients who had gastrointestinal complaints in which the measurement levels of fecal calprotectin were recommended. Fecal calprotectin was measured using a Bühlmann (Basel, Switzerland) ELISA kit Results A total of 279 patients were included in the study, with median age of 39 years (range, 18 to 78 years). After clinical and laboratorial evaluation and considering the final diagnosis, patients were allocated into the following groups: a) Irritable Bowel Syndrome: 154 patients (102 female and 52 male subjects). b) Inflammatory Bowel Diseases group: 112 patients; 73 with Crohn’s disease; 38 female and 35 male patients; 52.1% (38/73) presented active disease, and 47.9% (35/73) had disease in remission and 39 patients with ulcerative colitis;19 female and 20 male patients; 48.7% (19/39) classified with active disease and 49.3% (20/39) with disease in remission. A significant difference (P<0.001) was observed between the median value of fecal calprotectin in Irritable Bowel Syndrome group that was 50.5 µg/g (IQR=16 - 294 µg/g); 405 µg/g (IQR=29 - 1980 µg/g) in Crohn’s disease patients and 457 µg/g (IQR=25 - 1430 µg/g) in ulcerative colitis patients. No difference was observed between the values found in the patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Levels of fecal calprotectin were significantly lower in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases in remission when compared with active disease (P<0.001). Conclusions The present study showed that the determination of fecal calprotectin assists to differentiate between active and inactive inflammatory bowel diseases and between inflammatory bowel diseases and irritable bowel syndrome.

The Relationship

Aim. To review available literature data on the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Key findings. Current publications on IBD and IBS present different viewpoints on their relationship. Thus, researchers have noted a high incidence of IBD against the background of IBS, frequent persistence of IBS-like symptoms after achieving IBD remission, as well as the possibility of overlapping the diseases. According to literature data, IBD and IBS should be treated as different forms of the same disease. An opinion is expressed that IBS-like complaints in patients with IBD remission should be considered as a separate disease referred to as “irritated inflammatory intestinal syndrome”. Treatment of IBS-like symptoms in patients with IBD remission has thus far not been developed.Conclusion. The problem of the relationship between IBD and IBS is currently controversial, thus requiring further clarification.

The aim of this review is to summarize data on the experience of using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) as a method of treating intestinal diseases, in particular in pediatric practice. FMT is the process of transferring fecal material from a healthy donor to the recipient’s gastrointestinal tract in order to alter gut microbial composition. To date, the most amount of research has been conducted in the field of treatment for Clostridium difficile infection. The mortality rate among children with this pathology is 1–5%. Randomized clinical trials show a higher efficacy of FMT compared to the use of antibiotics (efficacy rates of 90% and 26%, respectively) in the treatment for C. difficile infection. The effectiveness of FMT as a treatment for other diseases has been discussed. Cases of the successful use of FMT as a treatment for short bowel syndrome in children have been described, and studies on the effectiveness of this technique in patients with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel diseases have been conducted. Most studies have been carried out on small samples of patients, and the results vary. The potential of using FMT as a treatment of children with severe bowel diseases is high, which makes it necessary to conduct further research in pediatric practice. Key words: inflammatory bowel disease, Clostridium difficile infection, short bowel syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, fecal microbiota transplantation
