Abstract

AIM: This study aims to determine serum 25(OH)D levels in children with chronic tonsillitis at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung General Hospital. METHODS: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with chronic tonsillitis aged 3–15 years from August 26, 2021, to April 26, 2022. The exclusion criteria include children who consumed Vitamin D for the past month, are in ongoing treatment for chronic tonsillitis, and have comorbidities that affect Vitamin D serum. Characteristics were taken from anamnesis, while Vitamin D serum was analyzed using the ELISA method, then data were presented in numbers and percentages. RESULTS: The average serum level of 25(OH)D was 16.43 ± 3.5 ng/mL. All 44 subjects suffered from a lack of Vitamin D, categorized as deficiency, insufficiency, and severe deficiency, at 72.7%, 22.7%, and 4.6%, respectively. The majority of the cases were boys compared to girls, with 70.5% and 29.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: All children with chronic tonsillitis were found to have 25(OH)D serum below the normal level, with an average of 16.43 ± 3.5 ng/mL, especially in boys aged 3–10 years.

慢性扁桃体炎患儿血清25（OH）D的平均值

目的：本研究旨在测定Hasan Sadikin Bandung综合医院慢性扁桃体炎儿童的血清25（OH）D水平。方法：这项描述性和横断面研究是在2021年8月26日至2022年4月26日年龄为3-15岁的慢性扁桃体炎症患者中进行的。排除标准包括过去一个月摄入维生素D、正在接受慢性扁桃体炎治疗以及患有影响维生素D血清的合并症的儿童。从记忆中提取特征，同时使用ELISA方法分析维生素D血清，然后以数字和百分比表示数据。结果：25（OH）D的平均血清浓度为16.43±3.5ng/mL。所有44名受试者都缺乏维生素D，分为缺乏、不足和严重缺乏，分别为72.7%、22.7%和4.6%。与女孩相比，大多数病例是男孩，分别为70.5%和29.5%。结论：所有患有慢性扁桃体炎的儿童血清25（OH）D均低于正常水平，平均为16.43±3.5 ng/mL，尤其是3-10岁的男孩。

期刊介绍： Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) [formerly known as Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences] is a top-tier open access medical science journal published by the ID Design 2012/DOOEL Skopje, Rajko Zhinzifov No 48, 1000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. OAMJMS is an international, modern, general medical journal covering all areas in the medical sciences, from basic studies to large clinical trials and cost-effectiveness analyses. We publish mostly human studies that substantially enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology, etiology, and physiology; the development of prognostic and diagnostic technologies; trials that test the efficacy of specific interventions and those that compare different treatments; and systematic reviews. We aim to promote translation of basic research into clinical investigation, and of clinical evidence into practice. We publish occasional studies in animal models when they report outstanding research findings that are highly clinically relevant. Our audience is the international medical community as well as educators, policy makers, patient advocacy groups, and interested members of the public around the world. OAMJMS is published quarterly online version. The Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (OAMJMS) publishes Medical Informatics, Basic Science, Clinical Science, Case Report, Brief Communication, Public Health, Public Policy, and Review Article from all fields of medicine and related fields. This journal also publishes, continuously or occasionally, the bibliographies of the members of the Society, medical history, medical publications, thesis abstracts, book reviews, reports on meetings, information on future meetings, important events and dates, and various headings which contribute to the development of the corresponding scientific field.
