2014, ExploreCitation Excerpt :Level 1 (likely reliable) evidence Children attending childcare have an increased risk of acute diarrhea compared to children in home care.9 Probiotic supplementation has been evaluated for the prevention of acute diarrhea in children, but the setting and choice of live bacterial strains have varied widely.

2011, Early Human DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :This could be indicating that centre-based childcare constitutes a possible challenge for infants. Therefore, and also because it is well-known that centre-based childcare is related to more illnesses early in life [1–18], the number of hours and the number of concurrent care arrangements could potentially have different effects for infants attending centre-based childcare in comparison to infants not attending centre-based childcare. Therefore, the group of infants for whom centre-based childcare is included in their ‘package’ of care arrangements was examined separately from the group of infants for whom centre-based childcare is not included.
The use of Probiotics to Prevent Diarrhea in Young Children Attending Child Care Centers: A Review
2010, Journal of Experimental and Clinical MedicineCitation Excerpt :It is hardly surprising that childcare facilities are classified as a hazardous workplace for staff because of an increased prevalence of infectious disease and musculoskeletal problems from lifting.4 Childcare centers have shown increased rates of diarrhea, respiratory tract infections, hepatitis A, Haemophilus influenzae, and many other childhood illnesses.3,5–7 To meet the need for continuing care, a network of childcare centers has been established in Australia and other western countries, and the system is now spreading to all countries throughout our region.
