Probiotic bacteriotherapy in chronic infantilediarrhea
A probiotic therapy based on the administration of a dairy product containing Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus acidophilus was used against chronic diarrhea of 170 infants aging from 4 months - 4 years. The mean period during which the children suffered from diarrhea before the start of the probiotic treatment was of about 50 days. After 4 days of therapy the clinical symptoms had been eliminated. Until the end of the study none of the patients suffered a relapse. Bacterial counts in the feces suggested that the probiotic lactobacilli had restored the normal intestinal lactobacillus flora. The fermented product tested in this work can be considered a beneficial food.
