Gut microbiota significantly influences the development and functioning of a child's immune system. From the first days of life, the gut microbiota plays an active role in the development of innate and acquired immunity, promoting immune tolerance and protecting the body from infectious agents. Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microflora, or dysbiosis, weaken the barrier function of the mucosa and can cause immune imbalances. This paper examines the fundamental mechanisms of interaction between the microbiota and the immune system, as well as the relationship between dysbiotic changes and the development of allergic (e.g., atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma) and autoimmune diseases (such as type 1 diabetes mellitus and celiac disease). Particular attention is paid to modern methods of preventing and correcting dysbiosis in children, including breastfeeding, the use of probiotics, and the rational use of antibacterial agents.Downloads
