Abstract
The aim of the study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of the probiotics—Saccharomyces boulardii and
Bifidobacterium lactis—in children who had been diagnosed with rotavirus gastroenteritis. Materials and methods. Seventy five
patients aged between 5 months–5 years diagnosed as rotavirus gastroenteritis were included in the study. The patients diagnosed
as rotavirus gastroenteritis by latex agglutination test in stool were divided into 3 groups of twenty-five patients each: First group
was given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Saccharomyces boulardii (spp. I-745), second group
was given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Bifidobacterium lactis (spp. B94, culture number:
N◦118529) and third group received only oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet. Results. The duration
of diarrhea was shorter in the group given oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet with Bifidobacterium
lactis and Saccharomyces boulardii than the group given only oral rehydration therapy and rapid refeeding with a normal diet.
Conclusion. Bifidobacterium lactis has a complemental role in the treatment of rotavirus gatroenteritis and other probiotics may
also have a beneficial effect in rotavirus gastroenteritis compared with the therapy included only oral rehydration therapy and
rapid refeeding with a normal diet.
