The pooled estimate of efficacy of lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and other probiotics significantly reduced the duration of diarrhea .
In conclusion , probiotics exert positive effect in reducing the duration of acute rotavirus diarrhea  compared with control
BACKGROUND Probiotic therapies with different strains demonstrated some beneficial effects , although some studies did not show any significant effects .
This study assessed systematic ally the current knowledge on the effect of probiotic bacteria on duration of  acute rotavirus diarrhea in children compared with control .
Randomized double blinded controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bifilac in patients with acute viral diarrhea
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Bifilacℳ on reducing the episodes ( frequency ) and duration of diarrhea induced by rotaviral infection and to evaluate the efficacy of Bifilacℳ to ameliorate the associated symptoms like dehydration and duration of rotaviral shedding in faeces . Methods 80 children aged between 3 months and 3 years were enrolled and divided into 2 groups , one group received st and ard therapy + placebo , the other group received st and ard therapy + probiotic ( Bifilac ) r and omly . Children assessed for frequency and duration of diarrhea . Degree of dehydration , duration and volume of oral rehydration salt [ ORS ] therapy , duration and volume of Intra venous fluids and duration of rotaviral shedding . Results When compared to the placebo , Bifilac showed clinical as well as statistically significant reduction in Number of episodes ( frequency ) of diarrhea in a day , mean duration of diarrhea ( in days ) degree of dehydration , duration and volume of oral rehydration salt [ ORS ] therapy , duration and volume of intravenous fluid [ IVF ] therapy , duration of rotaviral shedding ( P<0.01 ) . Conclusion The synbiotic , bifilac , appears to be a safe and very effective adjuvant in the management of acute rotaviral diarrhea
