Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between zinc and Fe microelements with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and to find a clinical and practical treatment and prevention method for RSV caused pneumonia .Methods Sixty children patients with RSV pneumonia were enrolled in the observation group ,and contemporaneous sixty healthy children served as the control group .Then the concentrations of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements were detected by using atomic absorption spectroscopy .Results Compared with the healthy control group ,the levels of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements in different age periods of RSV pneumonia group were significantly decreased with statistical difference(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The decrease of whole blood zinc and Fe microelements levels in children may be associated with RSV caused pneumonia .
