Abstract

The study aimes to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children aged from 2 months to 60 months with community-acquired pneumonia. Prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 patients suffering from community-acquired pneumonia from July 2022 to June 2023 at Thai Nguyen National Hospital. Research results showed that the average age of patients was 17,88±0,89 months and the most common age group was 12-24 months. Pneumonia accounted for 72,2% and severe pneumonia accounted for 27,8%. The proportion of children with vitamin D deficiency was 25,6%, and vitamin D insufficiency was 35,6%. The average level of 25(OH)D was 28,88±1,36 ng/ml, the lowest was 4,81 ng/ml and the highest was 65,78 ng/ml. The proportion of children with vitamin D dificiency and insufficiency was highest in the age group 12-24 months and was higher in female than in male. There was an association between serum 25(OH)D level and the severity of pneumonia.
