Studies have shown that patients treated and followed up for lower respiratory system infections have low levels of vitamin A and Vitamin D. In our study, we aimed to determine whether the deficiencies of these vitamins are risk factors for the development of lower respiratory system infections by comparing the serum vitamin A and vitamin D levels of patients 0-36months with lower respiratory tract infection and healthy children. Materials and Method The study included 82 children who applied to pediatric outpatient clinic between February 1st 2020 and June 30th 2020 with lower respiratory tract infection between the age 0-36 months, who gave blood sample for determination of serum vitamin A and vitamin D levels. 58 healthy children who applied to the outpatient clinic for routine check-up were determined as the control group. Age, sex, height and weight of all children were recorded. Results The average vitamin D level of those in the lower respiratory tract infection group was found to be 15.96±7.49ng/ml and those in the healthy group had average vitamin D levels of 32.19±14.27 ng/ml, showing that the sick group had statistically significantly lower levels of vitamin D (p=0.0001). The average vitamin A level of those in the sick group was found to be 170.42±60.42 ng/ml, whereas those in the control group had average vitamin A levels of 284.42±71.2 ng/ml, which showed that those in the sick group had statistically significantly low levels of vitamin A (p=0.0001). Our study showed that there is a positive statistically meaningful correlation between the vitamin D variable and the vitamin A variable (r=0.432, p=0.0001). Conclusions Our study is the only study in the literature comparing both the vitamin A and vitamin D levels of patients with lower respiratory tract infection. Vitamin A and vitamin D levels of patients with lower respiratory tract infections are found to be lower compared to healthy children, therefore we predict that controlling the vitamin levels of such patient and giving the appropriate treatment when needed, will lower the morbidity and mortality caused by lower respiratory tract infections.","PeriodicalId":502461,"journal":{"name":"Harran Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi","volume":"17 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139279009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most prominent variants have been the Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, and finally, the Omicron variants. This study aims to determine the availability of neutrophil/lymphocyte rate (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte rate (PLR) and Systemic Inflammatory Index (SII), prog-nostic and diagnostic significance, in the differentiation of variants in pediatric Covid-19 patients. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 141 pediatric patients who were found to be positive for Covid-19 in Harran University Medical Faculty Hospital between January 2021 and April 2022 were included. A control group was formed from 107 healthy children selected from among those who applied to the general pediatric outpatient clinic for routine health evaluations. Results: When the age distribution of the patients was examined, the median was 7.0 (0.1-18) years. When the variants were compared, there was a significant difference between lymphocyte values, while leukocyte, neu-trophil, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) did not change significantly. At the same time, there was a statistically significant difference between NLR, PLR and SII variants in Covid-19 positive patients (p<0.05); It was found that CRP, CRP/albumin rate (CAR), and MPV values did not change significantly between variants (p>0.05). It was observed that the NLR, PLR and SII delta variants increased significantly compared to the omicron variant (p<0.05). CRP and CAR were significantly increased in the severe clinical course compared to the asymptomatic group (p<0.05). Conclusions: In our study, it was seen that patients with delta variant had higher NLR, PLR and SII values compared to omicron variant when viewed from the point of view of Covid-19 variants. Therefore, we think that during the diagnosis of Covid-19 accompanied by these parameters, variant analysis can be performed, especially in terms of the delta variant, and it will shed light on the differential diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and measures to be taken by early and simple means.","PeriodicalId":502461,"journal":{"name":"Harran Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi","volume":"27 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139278817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microbes that cause pneumonia are very diverse. In addition to DNA, RNA viruses, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria cause two types of cytokine imbalances, anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory. It can also influence the progno-sis of sepsis and other infectious diseases. This study aims to search for 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), IL-21, IL-23, and c-reactive protein (CRP) and compare cytokine levels. It is also to determine if Pediatric pneumonia patients CRP and cytokine levels correlate with results. Materials and Methods: In the study, blood was drawn from approximately 43 pediatric pneumonia patients and 43 healthy controls who came to the pediatric clinic to investigate serum IL-21, IL-23, 8-OHdG, and CRP levels. The levels of biomarkers were determined by ELISA method. Serum CRP levels were measured using the ATELLICA IM Analyzer. Results: Serum CRP, 8-OHdG, IL-21 and IL-23 levels were significantly higher in the pediatric pneumonia patient group than in the control group. Conclusions: Increased serum IL-21, IL-23, 8-OHdG and CRP expression in pediatric pneumonia patients is a poten-tial determinant suggesting that IL-21, IL-23-related cytokines may play a role in endothelial cell activation reported in patients. Increased 8-OHdG oxidative stress is more pronounced in patients without pediatric pneumonia while pro inflammatory cytokines are higher in pediatric pneumonia patients. However, it is used as a possible therapeu-tic target to reduce inflammation.
