Оценка обеспеченности витамином D проводилась по содержанию кальцидиола -25(ОН)D в плазме крови.Недостаточность витамина D менее 30 нг/мл обнаружена у 15 (50,0 %) больных муковисцидозом и у 4 (13,3 %) здоровых детей. Уровень 25(ОН)D пациентов с МВ, не получающих препараты витамина D, составлял 15,9 [12,6-17,1] нг/ мл, у здоровых детей -24,6 [19,8-29,9] нг/мл (р=0,001). Средняя саплементационная доза холекальциферола у пациентов с МВ составляла 3080,0±257,7 МЕ/сутки, у здоровых детей -1468,8±132,8 МЕ/сутки (р=0,0007), при этом обеспеченность витамином D больных с МВ была 32,3 [25,7] нг/мл, а здоровых детей -36,7 [34,9] (p=0,03). Уровень витамина D в сыворотке коррелирует с возрастом (в группе детей с МВ r=-0,47, р=0,009, в контрольной группе -r=-0,44, p=0,016).Исключительно естественная инсоляция не позволяет поддерживать оптимальный уровень 25(OH)D сыворотки ни у здоровых детей, ни у больных МВ. Препараты холекальциферола эффективно восстанавливают обеспеченность витамином D, однако доза должна подбираться индивидуально. Обеспеченность витамином D пациентов с МВ зависит от возраста, вероятность дефицита витамина D возрастает по мере взросления ребенка.
Vitamin D has pleiotropic effects, including maintaining calcium and phosphate homeostasis, and affecting the immune and endocrine systems. The article summarizes data on the expected biological effects of vitamin D on children’s health. The results of randomized clinical trials evaluating the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the incidence of acute respiratory tract infections are reviewed in detail. It has been shown that daily intake of vitamin D at a dose of 10 to 25 mcg/day (400–1000 IU/day) compared with placebo leads to a significant decrease in the proportion of children and adolescents who have had at least one episode of acute respiratory infection. The criteria for the provision of calciferol and the gradation of the status of vitamin D deficiency and deficiency in different countries are discussed. It has been shown that in the interpretation of the 25 (OH) D results there is a consensus on two points: calcidiol levels below 12 ng/ml (30 nmol/L) are considered clearly insufficient, and levels above 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/L) are considered sufficient in all regions. The incidence of hypovitaminosis D has been reported in children aged 3 to 7 years, where the overall combined assessment, regardless of age group, ethnic composition and breadth of the studied populations, showed that 13% of European children had a serum calcidiol concentration of less than 12 ng/ml (<30 nmol/L), and about 40% had a level of less than 30 ng/ml (<75 nmol/L). The data on the physiological need and the recommended daily dose of vitamin D for preschool children have been analyzed. In each country, the recommended intake of vitamin D is set (from 400 to 4000 IU), depending on the target concentration of serum calcidiol, the level of insolation, and nutritional characteristics. The necessity of conducting clinical studies in the age group from 3 to 7 years to determine an adequate, effective and safe preventive dose of vitamin D for preschool children in the Russian Federation is emphasized.
Celiac disease (CD) is characterized by the formation of an anemic syndrome whose etiopathogenesis if of a multifactorial origin. The main types of anemias in children with celiac disease are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and anemia of inflammation, also called anemia of chronic disease (ACD). This bibliographical review presents current information on the iron metabolism, morphological changes in the epithelium of the intestinal mucosa in celiac disease leading to the development of iron deficiency, pathogenesis of ACD formation in celiac disease, as well as the diagnosis of IDA and ACD in celiac disease.
The study included 78 children: 38 patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) (median age 8.2 [4.9-13.8] years) and 40 healthy children (median age 7.66 [2.0-12.1] years), living in the Stavropol region during 2018-2019. Vitamin D sufficiency was assessed by the content of calcidiol -25(OH)D in blood plasma. Seasonal fluctuations in the level of calcidiol during the year in children with CF were more pronounced than in children from the control group -12.2 [7.6-20.2] ng/ml in winter, 29.8 [21.3-37 .9] ng/ml in spring, 33.2 [26.5-39.1] ng/ml in summer and 22.6 [11.4-30.5] ng/ml in autumn, in healthy children the level is 25(OH)D during 2018 was 34.8 [24.8-53.1] ng/ml in winter, 31. 1 [24.6-44.6] ng/ml in spring, 30.4 [23.3-35.3] ng/ml in summer and 41.9 [32.1-55.2] ng/ml in autumn. Serum calcidiol levels were significantly lower in CF children compared to the control children group in winter (p=0.007) and autumn (p=0.04). During the study, the number of children with vitamin D deficiency and severe vitamin D deficiency significantly decreased. At the beginning of the study, severe vitamin D deficiency was detected in 40 % of patients with CF; after adjusting the dose of vitamin received in spring (p<0.005) and summer (p<0.005), it was not found in any of the children. On the contrary, the frequency of normal vitamin D sufficiency increased significantly by 36.7 % in spring (p<0.05), by 50 % in summer (p<0.01), and by 16.7 % in autumn (p>0.05), compared with the first determination of 25(OH)D in winter. Thus, the frequency of vitamin D deficiency in CF patients is statistically significantly higher than in healthy children. The problem of vitamin D deficiency in children with CF is quite relevant due to the low awareness of CF patients and their parents about the critical role of cholecalciferol in this disease.
Case Discussion Though MIS-C is rare, with an incidence of 0.14% among children with SARS CoV-2 infection according to one Systematic Review (Hoang Et al. 2020), it is an important new differential which must be borne in mind in cases of fever with no clear source. Both of these cases had a negative PCR test for SARS CoV-2 and no history of Covid 19 disease. No serological testing for SARS CoV-2 was available in our hospital setting. But in accordance with RCPCH guidelines this does not exclude the diagnosis of MIS-CIn previous studies as many as 71% of cases of MIS-C required PICU admission (Ahmed Et al., 2020), however not all are severely unwell and may be stable enough to be managed on a ward setting as described above.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
