WAYS TO CORRECT INTESTINAL DYSBIOSIS IN HIV-INFECTED CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM INFECTIOUS DIARRHEA

In HIV-infected children with increasing severity of acute diarrhea, a significant increase in severe forms of intestinal dysbacteriosis was observed. In such cases, complex treatment and an individualized approach are necessary. Among the probiotic preparations included in the complex treatment, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Bacillus clausii demonstrated high effectiveness in alleviating dehydration. The effect of Bacillus cereus and Bifidobacterium bifidum was limited in some cases, and no significant differences were observed in the main group. The obtained results indicate the need for an individualized approach to selecting probiotics for the treatment of diarrhea.
