ICD-11 code : DA96.00;
Preferred Label : Bacterial overgrowth syndrome;
ICD-11 definition : Bacterial overgrowth syndrome is a term that describes clinical manifestations that
occur when poor movement of intestinal contents allows certain normal intestinal bacteria
to grow excessively, causing diarrhea and poor absorption of nutrients (malabsorption).
Various etiological processes can disrupt mechanisms that keep the number of these
bacteria low. These include structural abnormalities (congenital or surgical) and
disorders that cause decreased gastric acidity, reduced peristaltic activity, and
mucosal damage or atrophy.;
