High Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels Are Associated with Pediatric Sepsis

Abstract: Despite major advances in intensive care, sepsis continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Vitamin D is involved in various physiologic functions, including cellular responses during infection and inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic value of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in childhood sepsis because it can be fatal if diagnosis delayed. The study included 40 children with sepsis and 20 children without sepsis (control group). We included only the patients with high probable seps… Show more

“…In contrary to our results, Gokhanet et al [29] reported that high serum 25-OH vitamin D levels are associated with pediatric sepsis, and this difference may be due to the age group and the different sample size. In addition, Ratzinger et al [30] reported that 1,25-OH D but not 25-OH D can predict bacteraemia and both of them failed to predict sepsis and mortality in a prospective cohort study, but this difference between our results and Ratzinger’s may be attributed to the age group of patients, as all of Ratzinger’s patients were above 41 years old, the different types of infections recruited in his study (respiratory, gastrointestinal (GIT), urological and central nervous system (CNS) infections), and, lastly, the methodology and the time for assay of vitamin D levels.…”

“…In an USA study a similar association was observed between skin or soft tissue infections by Staphylococcus aureus strains and vitamin D levels [25(OH)D < 30 ng/ml] in 202 children [ 276 ]. Other authors reported similar findings in children with acute diarrhea [ 277 ], otitis [ 277 ], rotavirus infection [ 278 ], malaria [ 279 ], leishmaniosis [ 280 ], hepatitis C [ 281 ], or sepsis [ 282 ]. However, it is unclear whether the observed vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is to be considered a consequence of the infection itself or if it plays a role in determining susceptibility to infections or the severity of the disease.…”

“…Peningkatan kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D pada sepsis untuk memicu produksi peptida antimikroba yang berperan pada sistem pertahanan tubuh. 5 Terjadi perbedaan antara penelitian kami (kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≤24 ng/mL dikatakan sepsis) dengan di Turki (kadar 25-hydroxyvitamin D >20 ng/mL dikatakan sepsis). Perbedaan tersebut disebabkan kriteria sepsis yang dipakai pada penelitian di Turki menggunakan kriteria sepsis neonatus, sedangkan subjek penelitian kami bukan neonatus.…”

“…Diagnosis dini sangat penting untuk sepsis pada anak karena sepsis bisa lebih fatal pada anak dibandingkan pada orang dewasa. 1,5 Vitamin D berperan penting dalam banyak fungsi fisiologis yang berbeda. Banyak penelitian telah difokuskan pada peran baru vitamin D dalam metabolisme glukosa, fungsi endotel, dan modulasi sistem imun.…”
