Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals increased risks of IBS and functional dyspepsia after acute gastroenteritis, highlighting the potential role of proinflammatory microbes.
In a large systematic review and meta-analysis, 14.5% of individuals experiencing acute gastroenteritis developed PI-IBS and 12.7% PI-FD, with greater than fourfold increased odds for IBS and threefold for FD. Proinflammatory microbes, including Proteobacteria and subcategories, and SARS-CoV-2, may be associated with the development of PI-IBS and PI-FD.
