Abstract: Zinc supplementation had no overall effect on the duration of hospitalization or of clinical signs associated with severe infection in young children hospitalized for severe pneumonia in southern India. This finding differs from the results of 2 previously reported trials wherein zinc supplementation was associated with a shorter period of recovery from severe pneumonia. Given the conflicting results, further research in representative settings is required to help clarify the role of zinc in the treatment of s… Show more

“…The results also showed that there was no difference between the two hybrids in response to NPK combination with or without organic. These results are not in line with [17] and [20] who reported that there are a positive correlation between increase of fertilizer dose and ascorbic acid content. Generally tomato fruit quality was increased significantly by increasing potassium application [21].…”

“…7 The effect of zinc was not modified by wheezing status in our subgroup analysis (Fig 2), a finding similar to that reported from South India. 8 However, because there were only 106 children without wheezing, we had insufficient power to detect an effect of zinc in this subgroup. This study enrolled 610 children and to our knowledge is the largest trial conducted to date on zinc given during severe pneumonia.…”

“…8 Because children with reactive airway disease would meet criteria for inclusion in our study, we excluded children with a history of recurrent wheezing and enrolled others only if LCI persisted after salbutamol administration. Brooks et al reported that in children without wheezing, administration of zinc resulted in earlier resolution of clinical signs.…”

“…The therapeutic benefit of oral zinc is reported to lower risk of acute respiratory infections and pneumonia in children. The zinc supplementation results in significant reduction in the duration of hospital stay in children [19]. Keeping these considerations, the present study was conducted out to find out the effect of co-administration of zinc with standard antimicrobial therapy in a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial in 150 children with pneumonia.…”
