Clinical Course and Principles of Treatment of Infectious Bowel Syndrome in Adolescents

Abstract

Irritable bowel syndrome is a serious and underestimated problem in childhood. This the topic has not been sufficiently studied in pediatrics compared to adult practice, and pediatricians often make this diagnosis to young children without proper justification. This is a functional disorder of the large intestine, in which abdominal pain is observed, but no changes in the structure of the intestinal walls occur. The average age of patients is 14-40 years, this pathology is 2 times more common in women.
