Abstract:The objective of this case control study is to identify the relationship between intestinal parasitic infection and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) among Sudanese patients. Method: Two hundred patients diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and were attended Health Facilities at Khartoum State were enrolled, together with 99 apparently healthy controls. Patients were classified into three groups (IBS-all types, IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D), and IBS with constipation (IBS-C)). Stool specimens were collected form study population and all were subjected to microscopic examination following wet saline preparation, formal-ether concentration technique, Z. N stain, and in vitro cultivation in Locke egg medium. Results: Intestinal parasites were detected in 32% (64/200) of IBS-all types; and in 16.2% (16/99) of control group (P. value 0.005). For patients, 20 (10%) were positive for the Entamoeba cyst, 3 (1.5%) Giardia lamblia cysts, and 41 (20.5%) were positive for Blastocystis hominis cyst. For control, Entamoeba species were detected in 10 (10.1%), G. lambelia one case (1.1%), and B. hominis in 5 (5.2%). Blastocystis hominis was significantly prevalent among IBS-all types than the control group (P. value 0.02). It is more frequent among patients with IBS-D than those with IBS-C (P. value 0.001). Conclusion: This study concluded that, there is a statistical association between presence of intestinal parasites and IBS on study population. Blastocystis hominis was found more frequently detected parasite, and it was found significantly associated with IBS-diarrhea.

“…Also, a study from Venezuela reported an IBS prevalence of 16.8%, with 81.6% of those affected being women and 18.4% men [3]. Studies on indigenous populations in Latin America revealed a high prevalence of IBS, which was similar to that in the rest of the population [4]. • Data from Africa are very scarce.…”

“…Se observa una mayor inclinación por el sexo masculino de presentar trastornos digestivos, aunque se puede deber a la mayor población de hombres que de mujeres que participaron en el estudio; ya que autores mencionan que la prevalencia en los países industrializados tanto de hombre como de mujeres es similar [8]. Con relación a la edad es de destacar que posiblemente se observe la presencia de Helicobacter pylori con una mayor prevalencia en el grupo de pacientes referenciados entre las edades de 30 a 45 años como lo referencian otros autores [9].…”

Los movimientos de vaivén con los que se movilizan las naves acuáticas en trayectos desde 1 hora hasta 6 meses, producen vértigo en gran parte del personal, este produce posteriormente vómito, los jugos gástricos suben a través del esófago lesionando las paredes de este produciendo los síntomas y molestias del reflujo gástrico siendo este un aliciente para el inicio de patologías que afectan el Sistema Digestivo. Objetivo: Analizar los factores asociados con la presencia de trastornos digestivos en el personal que navega en las unidades mayores de la flotilla de superficie de la Fuerza Naval Del Caribe. Materiales y Métodos: Descriptivo de corte trasversal con un componente analítico. La población estuvo constituida por 200 navegantes de las unidades mayores, con diagnóstico de trastornos digestivos. Se realizaron cálculos de estadística descriptiva y para el análisis de asociación se utilizo el Chi2 con un valor de p:<0.005 y la razón de momios con un IC: 95% y un valor de p=0.05, con el software SPSS Versión 19. Resultados: Se encontró gastritis en un 10.5%, acidez un 3%, colon irritable en un 2.5%, depresión un 2%, diarrea y vómito un 3%, reflujo en un 2.5%. La probabilidad de encontrar Helicobacter pylori con algún tipo de úlcera en el sistema digestivo superior y medio fue de 0.162791 p=0.0001. Conclusión: La depresión se encontró como un factor en los marinos ya que influyó en la presencia de trastornos digestivos como en la dificultad de evacuación, diarrea y acidez, entre otros trastornos digestivos.
