Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the human gut in the presence of Burkholderia pseudomallei, the bacteria that causes melioidosis.
- The research was conducted in Northeast Thailand, where stool and rectal swab samples were taken from melioidosis patients as well as from control patients without infections.
- The findings reveal that a small percentage of melioidosis patients shed the bacteria, but it was not found in control groups, suggesting that gut colonization in healthy individuals is uncommon.
Aim: To investigate the yield, etiologies and impact of capsule endoscopy (CE) in Thai patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).
Methods: The present study is a retrospective cohort study. All patients with OGIB who underwent CE in Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand during 2005-2009 were included in the study.
