Summary/Abstract: Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder characterized by severe low body weight, impaired self-body image, and intense fear of gaining weight, however its etiopathogenesis is not fully known. Some studies show that nutritional rehabilitation and corresponding weight restoration are not effective enough in the management of intestinal dysbiosis in patients with anorexia nervosa, but results are inconclusive. This work aims to review the existing studies to provide information about the possible role of intestinal microbiota in the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa, characteristics of intestinal dysbiosis in patients with anorexia nervosa, and possible treatment approaches in the management of intestinal microbiota.
