A mixture of Bifidobacterium bifidum, B. lactis and Lactococcus lactis helps to prevent eczema in children with an increased risk of developing atopic diseases. Titia Niers recently defended her thesis on this subject, at Utrecht University.
Atopic diseases, such as eczema, asthma, food allergy and hay fever, are common in Western society, particularly among children. Around 20 to 30 percent of children are estimated to suffer from these conditions to some degree. Scientists from Utrecht University set up a randomized, double blind and placebo-controlled study to look into the potential effect of probiotics on the incidence of these atopic diseases in high-risk children. This study, called the PandA (Probiotics AND Allergy) study, has yielded several scientific publications and a PhD thesis. Titia Niers, pediatrician-in-training, successfully defended this thesis on November 10.
