In group A patients of acute pancreatitis were given regular doses of probiotics along with other necessary medicines while in group B placebo was given along with other medications. Treatment outcomes were compared. Results: In probiotics group, hospital stay was significantly lower than placebo group. No infective complication was seen in probiotics group while 1 patient in placebo group developed infected pancreatic necrosis.
