Abstract:

 Aim: In this study, it is aimed to examine the levels of 25OHD, vitamin B12 and ferritin, which we think are associated with the disease, in children who apply with the complaint of protein and energy deficiency. Material and Method: The 25OHD level of 1377 people who applied to the hospital, the vitamin B12 level of 1366 people and the ferritin level of 1384 people who applied to the hospital were included in the study. Hospital references for children were used for vitamin D 25OHD, vitamin B12 and Ferritin levels. Results: When 25OHD levels were examined in the study; Approximately 27 of the children had vitamin D deficiency 25OHD 20 ngmL, 7.19 had excessive 25OHD deficiency and 6.68 had a high level of vitamin D deficiency. When vitamin B12 levels were examined, Vitamin B12 levels were low in 5.2 of the children B12191 ngL and high in 14.35. Considering the ferritin levels, ferritin levels were low in 49.35 of children ferritin level 30 μgL. Conclusion: It was observed that B12, 25OHD and ferritin levels of patients with PEM could vary according to geographical regions. For this reason, we think it is necessary to focus on the age range of 624 months, where the incidence of micronutrient deficiencies and infectious diseases is the highest.
