Overview

This review highlights human milk's protective effects against Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica, suggesting implications for infant health.

Key Points

  • Human milk offers protective mechanisms against gastrointestinal infections in infants, particularly from protozoa.
  • The review shows that components like lactoferrin and secretory IgA inhibit the activity of intestinal pathogens.
  • This analysis focuses on the immunological role of human milk's bioactive substances in combating infections.
  • Maternal health factors—such as nutrition and stress—may influence the effectiveness of these protective mechanisms.
