Treatment and prevention of pediatric infectious diseases of three commercial probiotic products were evaluated by a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial. Test subjects under age 5,1062 in total, were distributed randomly into four groups. This investigation showed that L. casei rhamnosus can control bacterial, viral and respiratory infections; a multi-species probiotic reduced gastrointestinal disease significantly. Long-term consumption of L. rhamnosus T cell-1 decreased the incidence of bacterial infection. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
