Abstract

The article presents a case report on the successful treatment of chronic Pouchitis using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Topics covered include FMT being a novel therapy for transferring normal intestinal flora from a healthy donor to a patient with a medical condition that is potentially caused by disrupted homeostasis of intestinal microbiota or dysbiosis and the results showing that pouchitis symptoms and quality of life improved through FMT.
