Abstract

Background: RICKETS is a failure in mineralization of growing bone or osteoid tissues. The characteristic early changes may be seen roentgen graphically at the ends of long bones. Clinical manifestations appear late in the course of the disease. Studies have suggested an association between RICKETS and PNEUMONIA. Increased susceptibility to infection in RICKETS may be in part due to impaired immune system, phagocytosis and skeletal changes in the chest cage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of RICKETS in CHILDREN under 5 years of age who had PNEUMONIA. Materials and Methods: Eighty inpatient CHILDREN younger than 5 years of age with PNEUMONIA (Group I) were screened for evidence of RICKETS clinically, radiologically and biochemically. Simultaneously, 80 age-matched CHILDREN without pneumoma were selected randomly (Group II) and underwent the same investigations. Results: RICKETS was present in 12.5 percent of cases in Group I and 1.25 percent of cases in Group H. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p<0.02). A high rate of RICKETS was seen in CHILDREN that had not consumed vitamin D. Conclusion: RICKETS may be an important predisposing factor for PNEUMONIA in CHILDREN under 5 years of age. Efforts to prevent vitamin D deficiency may result in reduction of PNEUMONIA in these CHILDREN.
