February 18, 2008 — In patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis, probiotic prophylaxis did not reduce the risk for infectious complications and was associated with an increased risk for mortality, according to the results of a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial reported in the February 14 Online First issue of The Lancet. The investigators therefore conclude that probiotic prophylaxis should not be administered in this category of patients.
