摘要：

Objective. To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of bovine colostrum in preventing recurrent episodes of upper respiratory tract infections and diarrhoea in children Methods. 605 children (1-8 yrs) having recurrent episodes of upper respiratory tract infections or diarrhea received Bovine Colostrum (Pedimune®) for 12 weeks. Total no of episodes of recurrent infections, hospitalization rate, overall well being and adverse events were assessed at every 4 weeks. Results. Episodes of URTI and diarrhoea reduced significantly by 91.19 % and 86.60% at the end of therapy respectively. High to average improvement in overall well-being in 96 % of the patients were found by pediatrician while overall well-being stated by the patient/care taker was very good to good in 90.56 % of the patients. Conclusion. Bovine colostrum was highly effective in the prophylactic treatment of recurrent URTIs and diarrhea in reducing not only the episodes but also the hospitalization due to them.
