Duration of hospitalization, dysentery, fever, and the weight loss were assessed in each group. The standard treatment was administered for all patients. To assess the probiotic and prebiotic (synbiotics) effects in children with dysentery in a randomized clinical trial, 200 children with dysentery were studied in 2 groups: the synbiotic group received 1 tablet/day of synbiotic for 3-5 days and the placebo group received placebo tablets (identical tablet form like probiotics). Bacillary dysentery is a major cause of children's admission to hospitals.

The trial is registered with IRCT201109267647N1.A BACTERIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL CONSIDERATION OF BACILLARY DYSENTERY IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN. The use of synbiotics as an adjuvant therapy to the standard treatment of dysentery significantly reduces the duration of dysentery, fever, and rate of weight losses. The mean duration of dysentery reduced ( P 0.05).
