Probiotics for preventing preterm labour.

Author:	M Othman; JP Neilson; Z Alfirevic
Edition/Format:	Article : English
Publication:	Cochrane database of systematic reviews (Online) 2007(1): CD005941
Database:	From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Summary:	BACKGROUND: Preterm birth causes 60% to 80% of neonatal deaths. Survivors can experience life-long complications. The risk of preterm labour in the presence of maternal infection is thought to be 30% to 50%. Probiotics are defined as live micro-organisms which, when administered in an adequate amount, confer a health benefit on the host. They have been shown to displace and kill pathogens and modulate the immune response by interfering with the inflammatory cascade that leads to preterm labour and delivery. During pregnancy, local treatment restoring normal vaginal flora and acidity without systemic effects could be preferable to other treatment in preventing preterm labour.  Read more...
