Abstract. Nowadays is getting to be more and more evidentiary material accumulation regarding the direct and indirect influence of gut microbiota at the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) development.
The aim of the research is to estimate the efficacy of including probiotic medicaments in the treatment of patients with post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS) after suffering from COVID-19.
Material and methods. 64 patients with PI-IBS syndrome developed after suffering from COVID-19, who were treated in a medical facility in the Republic of Ingushetia were examined.
Results. Patients of the main group, who had probiotics included in IBS therapy, had a higher frequency of getting rid of the clinical manifestations of the disease. The efficacy of treatment (indicators of reducing the severity of IBS symptoms) was 84% in the main group versus 60% in the comparison group. Intergroup comparison showed a significantly higher overall efficacy of therapy in the main group comparatively to the comparison group.
Conclusion. The main criterion for the efficacy of the inclusion of probiotics in therapy was the dynamics of IBS gastrointestinal symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, discomfort, frequency and nature of stools) and quality of life. As the results of the study showed, the proportion of participants who noted an improvement of their condition in terms of the general indicator of abdominal discomfort, in the second week of the study, was significantly higher in the main group, who received probiotics as part of complex therapy.
