Abstract Background Fecal calprotectin (fCAL) is a noninvasive biomarker used to differentiate between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods A multicenter prospective case–control study evaluating the BÜHLMANN fCAL enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted in 478 subjects. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and area under the receiver operator characteristic (AuROC) curve are reported and compared to another device. Results In differentiating IBD from IBS, the BÜHLMANN fCAL ELISA is very sensitive (93.3%) at a cutoff <80 μg/g and balanced sensitivity (84.4%) and specificity (85.4%) at a cutoff >160 μg/g (AuROC 0.933). Conclusions The BÜHLMANN fCAL ELISA demonstrates excellent discriminating between IBD and IBS.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands in extrauterine sites. Intestinal deep infiltrating endometriosis is considered when the endometriotic lesion is located more than 5 mm below the peritoneum. Intestinal obstruction due to endometriosis is rare, occurring in approximately 1% of cases. We present three cases with intestinal occlusion as deep infiltrating endometriosis debut. Its symptomatic presentation can mimic multiple gastroenterological entities, mainly irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease so its diagnosis can be difficult. However, suspecting this pathology and diagnosing it is important to define therapeutic behavior and improve the quality of life of our patients.
