    Systematic review of 10 scientific articles selected from databases such as Cochrane, LILACS, Scielo, Medline and Pubmed; They were analyzed according to the GRADE scale; resulting in 70% (n=7/10) indicating that probiotics are effective in the prevention and control of diarrhea due to antibiotics and Clostridium difficile in pediatric patients. 60% reduce the risk of developing diarrheal diseases associated with C. difficile. The probiotics S. boulardii and Lactobscyllus rhamnosus are effective in preventing diarrhea due to antibiotics compared to placebos in hospitalized pediatric patients. It is concluded that 7 of 10 reviewed articles show the effectiveness of probiotics for the prevention and control of diarrhea due to antibiotics and Clostridium difficile in pediatric patients.
