Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: Among preschool children with acute gastroenteritis, those who received a 5-day course of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG did not have better outcomes than those who received placebo.

Reviewers’ commentary: This trial does not support the recommendation to administer Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG as an effective treatment to prevent moderate to severe acute gastroenteritis.
