Background: Administering probiotics can prevent or cure some forms of diarrhea. The efficacy of probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) in infants and toddlers with diarrhea > 4 days was tested by a double-blind trial.Methods: One hundred fifty-one children aged 1-47 months with nonspecific diarrhea were randomized to receive either EcN suspension (N = 75) or placebo (N = 76). Diarrhea had to meet the following definition: > 3 watery or loose nonbloody stools in 24 hours of a diarrheal episode persisting for > 4 consecutive days but 4 days in young children.
