Randomized Controlled Trial
Probiotics in pregnant women to prevent allergic disease: a randomized, double-blind trial.
Previous reports have suggested that certain probiotics given to mothers and children at risk of atopy halves the incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) at 2 years of age. ⋯ Probiotics given to nonselected mothers reduced the cumulative incidence of AD, but had no effect on atopic sensitization.
