WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT EXCESSIVE BACTERIAL GROWTH SYNDROME

Abstract

The excessive bacterial growth syndrome (EBGS) is a rather complicated, important and currently actively studied problem in the clinical practice. Currently there are no strict recommendations in respect of EBGS diagnostics. Respiratory tests have been extensively used of late that have various specificity and sensitivity. It’s difficult to diagnose and to conduct differential diagnostics of EBGS but important as well as it allows optimization of the patient therapy.
