Central and peripheral factors in postinfectious FD and IBS. The final symptom complex depends on the interaction between local mucosal injury and central factors including adverse life events, personality, and external stressors. Smoking may acts as a surrogate marker for stress or adverse personality factors. Local injury is more influenced by the nature of the infectious agent. Rotavirus infection leads to transient delayed gastric emptying.9Giardia intestinalis produces mainly post infectious FD as well as PI-IBS.10 Infections like Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter jejuni, which cause terminal ileitis and colitis, are associated equally with both postinfectious FD12 and postinfective IBS,13 whereas infections confined to the left colon, like shigellosis, are associated mainly with PI-IBS.14
