AIM: To investigate the impact of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) treatment on allergic colitis (AC) and gut microbiota (GM). METHODS: a rectal tube. Clinical outcomes and follow-up observations were noted. Stools were collected from ten AC infants before and after FMT, and GM composition was assessed for infants and donors using 16S rDNA sequencing analysis. RESULTS: = 8) decreased dramatically. CONCLUSION: FMT is a safe and effective method for treating pediatric patients with AC and restoring GM balance.
