As part of a larger systematic literature review of dairy products/components (including probiotics, dairy proteins, and dairy fats) and immune function, we identified the available epidemiologic research on the impact of dairy products/components on incidence and natural history of infectious diseases.<h4>Methods</h4>PubMed and Embase databases were systematically searched through May 2022 to identify eligible studies using pre-defined Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcomes, and Study design criteria. Herein, we focused on describing the impacts of dairy product/component on infectious disease outcomes, including the effect on leukocyte and Nutrition journal26https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10898086biostudies-literatureThe effect of bovine dairy products and their components on the incidence and natural history of infection: a systematic literature review.PMC10898086Mitchell MHooda NCohen SSBylsma LCSuh MfalseThe effect of bovine dairy products and their components on the incidence and natural history of infection: a systematic literature review.<h4>Background</h4>Dairy products and their components may impact immune function, although the current evidence base has some research gaps.
