title: Effects of an adjunctive treatment with Bacillus subtilis for food allergy.
abstract: The authors evaluated the clinical efficacy of an adjunctive treatment with spores of Bacillus subtilis in 20 adult patients with urticaria-angioedema syndrome from food allergy. The patients treated with B. subtilis showed a significant reduction in frequency and severity of clinical features in respect to the patients who received no treatment. Bacillus subtilis spores may increase S-IgA synthesis or protect gastroenteric mucosa.
