Especially, it has a particularly powerful preventive effect on infants whose relatives do not have allergic patients (no history of family allergies).

例えば図2に示すように、家族アレルギー歴の無い妊婦(出産前4週間)と乳児(生後6ヶ月間)にビフィズス菌を投与することで、生後10ヶ月、生後18ヶ月(1.5歳)の時点でアレルギー疾患の罹患が完全に抑制できるという驚くべき効果が得られる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 2, 10 months after birth and 18 months after birth (1.5 years) by administering bifidobacteria to pregnant women (4 weeks before childbirth) and infants (6 months after birth) who have no family allergies As a result, the surprising effect that the allergic disease can be completely suppressed can be obtained.

さらに妊産婦にアレルギー歴が無い場合であっても、顕著なアレルギー予防効果が得られる。   Furthermore, even if the pregnant woman has no history of allergy, a significant allergy prevention effect can be obtained.

本発明の予防剤は、アレルギーの予防効果を高めるために、特に新生児あるいはそれに近い段階からの摂取又は投与が望まれる。また、ペットの飼育や性別(男の子にアレルギー疾患は多く発症する)などもアレルギー疾患の発症のリスクファクターになる。   The preventive agent of the present invention is particularly desired to be taken or administered from a newborn or a stage close thereto in order to enhance the effect of preventing allergy. Breeding and sex of pets (allergic diseases are more common among boys) are also risk factors for the development of allergic diseases.

ビフィズス菌製剤:ビフィドバクテリウム・ロンガム(B. longum)BB536 (森永乳業社製)及びビフィドバクテリウム・ブレーベ(B. breve)M-16V(森永乳業社製)の凍結乾燥物を、各々1包あたり約50億(5×10)の菌数が含まれる。 Bifidobacteria preparations: Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (Morinaga Milk Industry) and B. breve M-16V (Morinaga Milk Industry) About 5 billion (5 × 10 9 ) bacteria are included per pack.

ビフィズス菌製剤の投与は、妊婦の場合には出産予定日の4週間前から出産日まで、新生児は出生1週後から6ヶ月まで毎日した。   In the case of a pregnant woman, the bifidobacteria preparation was administered from 4 weeks before the expected date of birth to the date of birth, and for newborns from 1 week after birth until 6 months.

ビフィズス菌製剤は、妊婦では1日2包を投与し、乳幼児の場合には、1日1包を投与した。ビフィズス菌製剤の投与は、妊婦は牛乳または水に溶かして飲むか、または直接粉末を口に入れて牛乳または水で飲むかで行い、乳児は母乳または育児粉乳またはお白湯に溶かして飲ませた。乳幼児は、サシェの菌体凍結乾燥物を口内粘膜に塗りつけることにより投与した。   The bifidobacteria preparation was administered in two pills per day for pregnant women, and in the case of infants, one pill was administered per day. Bifidobacteria preparations were administered by dissolving pregnant women in milk or water, or by directly putting powder in their mouth and drinking with milk or water, and infants dissolved in breast milk, infant formula or white water . Infants were administered by applying a sachet lyophilized product to the oral mucosa.

アレルギー疾患の発症は、生後4ヶ月、10ヶ月、18ヶ月(1.5歳)の時点で問診により行った。   The onset of allergic diseases was conducted through interviews at the age of 4 months, 10 months, and 18 months (1.5 years).

ビフィズス菌製剤の投与を受け入れた妊婦の新生児はビフィズス菌製剤の投与を継続し、ビフィズス菌製剤の投与を断った妊婦の新生児はビフィズス菌製剤を投与しない比較対照とした。アレルギー疾患の発症の有無は、医師による問診・診察を併用して行った。   Newborn infants who received bifidobacteria preparations continued to receive bifidobacterial preparations, and newborn infants who refused to administer bifidobacteria preparations served as comparative controls that did not receive bifidobacteria preparations. The presence or absence of allergic diseases was determined by a doctor's interview and medical examination.

アンケート又は診断を行った乳幼児の数を以下に示し、結果を図1〜3に示す。   The number of infants who conducted a questionnaire or diagnosis is shown below, and the results are shown in FIGS.

図1の結果から、妊婦及び新生児におけるビフィズス菌の投与は、10ヶ月以降の乳児における乳児湿疹/アトピー性皮膚炎の発症率(有病率)を有意に抑えることが明らかになった。   From the results of FIG. 1, it became clear that administration of bifidobacteria in pregnant women and newborns significantly suppressed the incidence (prevalence) of infant eczema / atopic dermatitis in infants after 10 months.

図2の結果から、妊婦及び新生児におけるビフィズス菌の投与は、家族アレルギー歴を持っていない乳幼児、及び妊婦アレルギー歴のない乳幼児において、特にアレルギーの予防に効果があることが明らかになった。湿疹・アトピー性皮膚炎歴を持たない妊婦から生まれてきた乳幼児に対して、ビフィズス菌の効果がより顕著であった。   From the results of FIG. 2, it became clear that administration of bifidobacteria in pregnant women and newborns is particularly effective in preventing allergies in infants who have no family allergy history and infants who have no history of allergy to pregnant women. The effect of bifidobacteria was more pronounced for infants born to pregnant women who had no history of eczema / atopic dermatitis.

図3の結果から、妊婦及び新生児におけるビフィズス菌の投与は、母乳栄養中心の乳幼児ではアレルギー予防について有意な差はなかったが、人工栄養中心の場合には有病率を劇的に低下させることが明らかになった。従って、本発明のアレルギー予防剤は、粉ミルクなどの人工栄養と組み合わせて摂取するのが特に有効である。   From the results of FIG. 3, the administration of bifidobacteria in pregnant women and newborns did not significantly differ in allergy prevention in breastfeeding infants, but dramatically reduced the prevalence in the case of artificial nutrition. Became clear. Therefore, the allergy preventing agent of the present invention is particularly effective when taken in combination with artificial nutrition such as powdered milk.
