 Objective: To study the effects of the use of probiotics in pediatric patients that suffer from atopic dermatitis. Clinical Significance:  Intestinal permeability and dysbiosis influence gut immune function  GI permeability is thought to be greatest in early infancy and to decline with intestinal maturation. GI permeability and microbiota are thought to be critical influences in allergic disease. 1  Probiotics compete with pathogens  Probiotics alleviate immunogenicity of potential allergens

 Double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled study  Pediatric patients: 1-13 yo  Probiotic complex  Bifidobacterium bifidum  Lactobacillus acidophilus  Lactobacillus casei  Lactobacillus salivarius  Placebo control group  Skim milk powder  dextrose

 Strengths  Randomized, double-blind, controlled trial  Statistically significant results  Measuring multiple inflammatory markers  Weaknesses  Skim milk placebo  Small sample size  Limited to pediatric patients  Duration  SCORAD subjectivity

 The Cochrane Database  12 randomized controlled trials reviewed  No significant improvement with probiotics  Up to Date Database  Meta-analyses of using probiotics for eczema treatment  Problems of quality with some studies and heterogeneity  Probiotics benefit IgE sensitized individuals

 Natural Standard  Probiotics for children is promising  Infants benefit from mothers probiotics use  May reduce cow’s milk allergy and other allergic reactions  Stabilize intestinal barrier function

 Probiotic supplementation  Limit/avoid stress  Skin or serum testing  Elimination diet
