Abstract

Objective: There are many consequences connected with aninadequate intake of trace elements and Vitamin D. Allergicdisorders and a susceptibility to respiratory infections maybe related to deficiencies of trace elements and/or vitaminD. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate associationsbetween recurrent respiratory system infections andZinc levels; as well as other dependent factors.Methods: Three hundred and seventy one children living inTurkey were enrolled in the study between 2015 and 2017.Two hundred and forty nine had a history of either recurrentupper respiratory infections such as, acute otitis media,pharyngitis, rhinitis, or lower respiratory tract infections.122 were considered as healthy controls. Age, gender,existence of adenoid hypertrophy, upper and lowerrespiratory tract infections, zinc levels, vitamin D levels, IgElevels, and a skin prick test were all evaluated.Results: A total of 371 children (mean age ± standard deviation= 47±31 months), 180 males and 191 females wereincluded. No significant difference between the zinc levelsof children with recurrent upper (mean ± standard deviation= 0,88±0,28) respiratory tract infections and lowerrespiratory tract (mean ±standard deviation= 0,88±0,35)infections was observed. Likewise, there was no significantdifference between IgE levels of children with recurrentrespiratory tract infections and healthy controls (p=0,4).Vitamin D levels, however, were found to be significantlylower in children with lower and upper respiratory tractinfections (p=0,001).Conclusion: There was no significant difference in zinc levelsbetween healthy controls and children with recurrentrespiratory tract infections. However, if there is a documentedlow zinc deficiency, children with recurrent respiratorytract infections may be recommended a zinc supplementationprotocol. Additionally, these children should alsobe monitored for adenoid hypertrophy; an independentrisk factor for recurrent respiratory tract infections.

Özet

Amaç: Eser elementlerin ve D vitaminin eksik alımı ve allerji çocuk solunum sistemi sağlığı üzerine etkileri bulunmaktadır. Kesitsel çalışmamızda tekrar eden solunum yolun yolu enfeksiyonu ile çinko düzeyleri ve neden olabilecek diğer faktörlerin ilişkisini araştırmak amaçlanmaktadır. Metod: 2015-2017 tekrar eden akut otitis media, farenjit, rinit gibi üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ve alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olan, Türkiye’de yaşayan 249 olgu ve 122 sağlıklı kontrol çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çinko düzeyleri, adenoid hipertrofi varlığı allerji deri testi, yaş, cinsiyet, tekrar eden alt veya üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu öyküsü değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar: 180 kız, 191 erkek olmak üzere 371 olgu (ortalama ± SD, 47±31 ay), çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Tekrar eden üst ve alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu ile çinko düzeyleri (ortalama ± SD, 0,88±0,28), (ortalama ± SD, 0,88±0,35), arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır. Tekrar eden solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olan olgular ile sağlıklı grup arasında, IgE düzeyleri açısından anlamlı istatistiksel fark bulunmamıştır (p=0,4). D vitamini düzeyleri tekrar eden alt ve üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olan grupta anlamlı olarak düşük bulunmuştur(p=0,001). Sonuç: Sağlıklı kontroller ile tekrar eden solunum yolu enfeksiyonu olan olgular arasında çinko düzeyleri açısından anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Tekrar eden solunum yolu enfeksiyonunda çinko suplementasyonu ancak eksikliği saptanmış olgulara önerilebilir, ve bu olgular tekrar eden solunum yolu enfeksiyonunda bağımsız risk faktörü olan adenoid hipertrofi varlığı açısından değerlendirilmelidir.
