Probiotics for Gastroenteritis

What this episode covers

<br /> This episode of PEM Currents features an in-depth interview with the lead author on the recent New England Journal paper on the use of probiotics in gastroenteritis. David Schnadower was kind enough to sit down with me and James Gray, a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow from Cincinnati Children&#8217;s to talk about the study and its implications for the care of children with infectious gastroenteritis.
