Zinc and probiotic supplementation in children with acute watery diarrhea Backgrounds: Clinical trials have demonstrated that zinc supplement during diarrhea episodes reduces the duration and severity of illness. Studies have shown that probiotic may be useful in treating acute diarrhea. Study that evaluated diet enriched with zinc and probiotic showed significant reduction on the duration of diarrhea. Whether this combination is better than either supplementation of zinc or probiotic alone is unknown. The objective of the study was to compare the duration of diarrhea among children with acute watery diarrhea given zinc, probiotic and combined zinc - probiotic supplementation. Methods: Consecutive sampling from 6-24 months old hospitalized children with acute watery diarrhea in Kariadi hospital was done. There were 77 subjects randomized into 4 study groups. Three groups were supplemented daily with zinc, probiotic, or zinc and probiotic and one group as control. Each group had received standard therapy including rehydration and dietetic. Data were analyzed with Chi-square test, t test and one way ANOVA. Results: There were no differences in age, breastfeeding history, nutritional and social economic status, day before admission, and level of zinc serum among groups. Supplemented group showed significant reduction on the duration of diarrhea compared with control (p=0.02). There was no significant difference on the duration of diarrhea between zinc-probiotic and zinc or probiotic groups (p=O.15). Zinc-probiotic supplemented group had the lowest duration of diarrhea among groups. Conclusions: Zinc and probiotic are able to reduce the duration of acute watery diarrhea.
