Abstract:
Objective To investigate the change of serum vitamin D level in the patients with lower respira-tory tract infection and its correlation with lower respiratory tract infection so as to provide reference for clini-cal treatment.Methods 156 cases of lower respiratory tract infection and 60 persons undergoing healthy phys-ical examination in this hospital were collected as the infection group and healthy control group.The sputum specimens from the infection group conducted the bacterial culture and identification.Then the serum vitamin D levels were analyzed in the two groups.Results The serum vitamin D levels in the infection group and healthy control group were 25.76 ng/mL and 49.81 ng/mL,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).In the infection group,serum vitamin D levels in the patients with klebsiella pneumoniae,Acine-tobacter baumannii,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli and fungal infection w ere(25.79 ± 7.17),(24.11 ± 10.27),(27.76 ± 9.27),(24.79 ± 6.95),(22.93 ± 3.71)and(30.59 ± 21.31) ng/mL respectively,the difference had statistical significance compared with the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The level of serum vitamin D in the patients with lower respiratory tract infection is lower than that in healthy population.Its level is associated with lower respiratory tract infection,but the specific mech-anism remains to be further studied.
