Blind loop syndrome is a medical condition that occurs when the intestine is obstructed, slowing or stopping the progress of digested food, and thus facilitating the growth of bacteria to the point that problems in nutrient absorption occur
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1924, Seyderhelm and others were able to produce artificially ahyperchromic anemia in dogs, who hadintestinal stricture and they could relate this anemia to the infection of the intestine. So, this is probably the earliest studies to have established absorption defects in blind loop syndrome, caused by infection.[1]
