Probiotics in prevention of gastrointestinal and respiratory infections in hospitalized children and children who attend day care centers

An increasing number of studies in the last two decades have been trying to identify the role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. However, only several well-designed randomized controlled trials confirmed their beneficial effect in specific clinical indications. One indication, which is of special interest for children, is the prevention of gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infections. The aim of this review is to summarize all randomized controlled trials on the subject and to provide conclusions and recommendations for the use of probiotics in the prevention of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections.
