Lactobacillus Preparation on the Incidence of Diarrhea
Lactobacillus Preparation on the Incidence of Diarrhea
The purpose of this trial is to clarify the impact of lactobacillus preparation on the
 incidence of diarrhea in ICU-admitted patients.

 Almost all patients in ICU are treated with antibiotics for the effective control of various
 infections. However, antibiotics-associated diarrhea is another matter of concern. Many
 previous studies were proved that the use of probiotic lactobacillus preparation can reduce
 antibiotics-associated diarrhea in ward-admitted patients. In this study, we are planning to
 perform a similar study in severely ill patients in ICU.
