Patological changes in mucosa membrane of colon in patients with irritable bowel syndrome

71 biopsies of mucosa membrane of colon of 50 patients of both sexes with irritable bowel syndrome were researched using histological, histochemical, bacterioscopic and microscopic methods. Mucosa membrane of colon was contaminated with campylobacter in 67,6%, with fungi of the genus Candida in 50.7% and with cryptosporidium in 28.2%. Chronic catarrhal colitis was diagnosed in 46.5% of cases, chronic catarrhal follicular colitis in 19.7% of cases, chronic catarrhal hemorrhagic colitis in 4,2% of cases, tubular adenoma in 22.5%, follicular ileitis in 8.5%. These results may indicate a chronic inflammation of the colon mucosa membrane. It is necessary to consider this in the differential diagnosis of the disease.
