Abstract
With stasis of intestinal contents or direct contamination by a fistula connecting the upper bowel to the lower, the proximal small bowel becomes the site of bacterial overgrowth. All the clinical features of the blind loop syndrome can be related to this bacterial proliferation in a part of the bowel where underpopulation by bacteria is the rule.Keywords
