Trial on Effectiveness Combined Probiotics in Atopic Dermatitis in Children

Summary

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an immune disorder, characterized by chronic skin inflammation or relapsing, whose prevalence is increasing worldwide. Its exact etiology remains unknown. The hypothesis that an appropriate early stimulation of the intestinal flora contributes to the establishment of the immune system balance has led to the use of probiotics in the prevention and treatment of AD in several clinical and experimental studies. Therefore, the objectives of this study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of the mixture of probiotics (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) in children with AD through the SCORAD (scoring atopic dermatitis) and to evaluate the effects of this medication in the following laboratory parameters: skin prick test, total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), inflammation composite (interferon gamma \[ɣ - IFN\], interleukins \[IL1-β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8\] and tumor necrosis factor alpha) and immune tolerance composite (IL-10, IL-17 and transforming growth factor beta \[TGF - β\]).
