Data are given on the study of changes in microflora of the intestinal contents in patients with functional diseases: irritable colon syndrome (ICS), chronic catarrhal colitis (CCC) and non-specific ulcerous colitis (NUC). In ICS dysbacteriosis was absent in 40 per cent of the patients, 1st group dysbacteriosis was found in 44.3 per cent of cases; more serious dysbacteriosis (of the 2nd and 3rd groups) was found in CCC and NUC (34.3 and 52.3 per cent of cases, respectively). ICS, CCC and NUC patients had almost the same incidence of decreased Bifidobacterium level.
