Probiotics, immunity and allergy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2013
In a nutshell
Probiotic organisms can enhance immune function and help prevent or treat allergic disease, such as eczema. Clinical evidence is not definitive, but sufficient to warrant active consideration of its clinical use.
Probiotics may be particularly effective for atopy in infancy, or when given to the mother during a pregnancy with high risk for producing an atopic infant.
