Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is characterized by an increase in the bacterial population of the small intestine due to an imbalance between the amount of bacteria and the intestinal barrier. Pediatric SIBO presents with a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild gastrointestinal complaints to malabsorption or malnutrition. Breath tests are commonly used as noninvasive diagnostic tools for SIBO, but a standardized methodology is currently unavailable. Intestinal flora produces methane which slows intestinal transit and increases the contractile activity of small intestine. Emerging literature suggests a correlation between overgrowth of methanogenic bacteria in the intestines and constipation. Treatment of SIBO involves administration of antibacterial therapy in addition to management of underlying conditions and optimal dietary adjustments. However, research on antibiotic treatment for pediatric patients with constipation and SIBO is limited and has yielded conflicting results. In the current review, we summarize the state-of-the-art of the field and discuss previous treatment attempts and currently used regimens for SIBO patients with constipation, with a focus on pediatric populations.
小肠细菌过度生长(SIBO)的特征是小肠内细菌种群由于细菌数量和肠道屏障之间的失衡而增加。小儿 SIBO 表现出广泛的症状,从轻微的胃肠道不适到吸收不良或营养不良。呼气试验通常被用作 SIBO 的非侵入性诊断工具,但目前尚无标准化的方法。肠道菌群产生甲烷,甲烷会减缓肠道转运并增加小肠的收缩活动。新出现的文献表明,肠道中产甲烷菌的过度生长与便秘之间存在相关性。SIBO 的治疗包括除了治疗基础疾病和最佳饮食调整外,还需要给予抗菌治疗。然而,关于抗生素治疗小儿便秘和 SIBO 患者的研究有限,并且结果相互矛盾。在当前的综述中,我们总结了该领域的最新进展,并讨论了以前针对便秘 SIBO 患者的治疗尝试和当前使用的方案,重点是儿科人群。
