“…A study by Lahiri, et al, showcased a considerable amount of the annual income of Indian households was being spent on asthma i.e. 28.76 percentage on intermittent, 40.99 percentage on mild persistent and 60.64 percentage on moderate persistent patients [8].…”

Introduction: Asthma is classified primarily based on the level of control rather than the severity of the underlying illness process, as per the new GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) guideline. Objective: To study the control classification in children visiting Asthma Clinic To correlate the control classification with disease progression Material and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from January 2013 to December 2021. The revised GINA guidelines were used to diagnose 50 patients aged 7 to 15 with bronchial Asthma for this study. Patients’ medical histories and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) outcomes were noted in a pre-designed form. They were enrolled on their first visit and followed up periodically with a three-monthly interval each. Results: GINA guideline’s control classification aided in analysis of the significant differences in the distribution of progression (χ2 = 34.195, p = <0.001). There were 29 (58.0 %) patients who were well-controlled, 21 (42.0%) not well controlled with no patients in the poorly controlled category. Conclusion: Optimizing control in asthmatic children would entail diligent counselling, adherence to therapy and strict compliance.

“…A minor 2.4 percentage were found to be well controlled while only 6 percentage of patients used routine inhaled corticosteroid therapy. The low percentageage of control was attributed to delayed asthma diagnosis, comorbidities, inadequate treatment, compliance and financial constraints [5][6][7][8].…”

“…A number of studies on the combination of different probiotics and micronutrients have been conducted and have resulted in promising outcomes [15,36,[127][128][129][130]. A positive effect on mild diarrhoea has been demonstrated with the supplementation of probiotics and zinc in children aged ≤1 year [130].…”

“…In 2015, a prospective study on A. clausii as an add-on therapy to oral rehydration therapy (ORT) and zinc supplementation in the management of acute diarrhoea was performed [128]. Children (N = 131) admitted to a paediatric ward in Navi Mumbai, India, with acute diarrhoea were included in the analysis and divided into two groups.…”

“…Group 1 (N = 69) included children on combination therapy of A. clausii (oral suspension of 2 billion spores per 5 mL bottle) ORT, and zinc; Group 2 included children only on ORT and zinc. Group 1 experienced a more rapid decrease in the frequency of diarrhoea (24 h vs. 60 h, p < 0.01) and shorter hospital stay (2.78 days vs. 4.30 days) compared with Group 2 [128]. In 2022, a randomised, double-blind trial assessed the efficacy and safety of A. clausii combined with oral ORT and zinc supplementation in acute diarrhoea in 454 children (aged 6 months to 5 years).…”

A balanced microbiota—microorganisms that live in the gut—is crucial in the early years of a child’s life, while dysbiosis—altered microbiota—has been linked to the development of various diseases. Probiotics, such as Alkalihalobacillus clausii, are commonly used to restore the balance of gut microbiota and have shown additional antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. Intake of micronutrients can affect the structure and function of the gut barrier and of the microbiota by having multiple effects on cellular metabolism (e.g., immunomodulation, gene expression, and support structure proteins). An inadequate zinc intake increases the risk of deficiency and associated immune dysfunctions; it is responsible for an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory infections, and stunting. Paediatric zinc deficiency is a public health concern in many countries, especially in low-income areas. Currently, zinc supplementation is used to treat childhood diarrhoea. This review examines how combining A. clausii and zinc could improve dysbiosis, gut health, and immunity. It suggests that this combination could be used to prevent and treat infectious diseases and diarrhoea in children up to adolescence.
