ASPECTS IN THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT WITH PROBIOTICS IN ALLERGIC DISEASES
Abstract:
The role of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases is controversial. The
administration of probiotics has been shown to stimulate the immune response, the lack of which has been
involved in the development of atopic disorders. There are reports that recommend the supplementation of
probiotics to foods for the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. Most studies reported clinical
benefits in allergic rhinitis and eczema. Although, the clinical benefits of probiotic therapy depend on many
factors: type of bacterium, dosing regimen, method of administration and other underlying host factors.
Despite the promising evidence, the role of probiotics in allergic diseases should be further investigated as
the current knowledge of the characteristics that are necessary for their functionality in the gut is not
complete.
