“…Children younger than 15 years account for approximately 45% of the total population in developing countries, compared with 22% in developed countries. [6][7][8] In this article, oxidative stress and enzymic-nonenzymic antioxidants status were investigated in children with acute pneumonia to determine the possible role of their status in the disease. Even though there is a large body of literature regarding the status of individual antioxidants in pneumonia, there is, to our knowledge, no study which evaluates the enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants status in the disease.…”

In this article, oxidative stress and enzymic-non-enzymic antioxidants status were investigated in children with acute pneumonia. Our study included 28 children with acute pneumonia and 29 control subjects. The age ranged from 2 to 11 years (4.57+/-2.13 years) and 2 to 12 years (4.89+/-2.22 years) in the study and control groups, respectively. Whole blood malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH), serum beta-carotene, retinol, vitamin C, vitamin E, catalase (CAT), ceruloplasmin (CLP), total bilirubin, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels were studied in all subjects. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups for all parameters except for serum CAT. Whole blood MDA, serum CLP and total bilirubin levels were higher in the study group than those of the control group. However, SOD, GPx, beta-carotene, retinol, vitamin C, vitamin E and GSH levels were lower in the study group compared with the control group. All antioxidant vitamin activities were decreased in children with acute pneumonia. Our study demonstrated that oxidative stress was increased whereas enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidant activities were significantly decreased in children with acute pneumonia.

“…5,6 Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are basically leading cause of death among children under 5 years of age in such developing countries like India. 7,8 Child health is a matter of concern in developing countries like India. Predominantly, pneumonia and bronchiolitis comprising the lower respiratory tract infections along with upper respiratory tract infections have some severe implications on the health of pediatric population when they occur recurrently.…”
