AbstractObjectiveTo assess the presence of an association between vitamin D deficiency and anaemia in Jordanian infants and toddlers, in whom both vitamin D deficiency and anaemia have previously been proved to be common separately.DesignCross-sectional prospective study.SettingDepartment of Paediatrics, Princess Rahma Teaching Hospital, Jordan.SubjectsHealthy infants and children aged 6–36 months who were seen for primary care.ResultsOut of 203 infants and toddlers included in the study, the anaemia prevalence was 40·4 %. The prevalence of anaemia among infants (n 110) was 51·8 %, whereas it was 26·9 % among toddlers (n 93). No association between vitamin D status and anaemia was found.ConclusionsVitamin D deficiency is not a risk for anaemia in infants and toddlers.

Background Little is known of the vitamin D status of young infants and toddlers and its determinants in West Europe. The prevalence and determinants of vitamin D deficiency of children aged 6–48 months in the centre of the Netherlands (52°N) is investigated. Methods In a cross-sectional population study, randomly recruited infants and toddlers ( n = 150) were studied using an online questionnaire and a physical examination either in late summer ( n = 52) or in late winter ( n = 98). Vitamin D analysis was performed by capillary blood sampling using dried bloodspots plus LC-MS/MS. Results In late winter, 32% of the children were vitamin D deficient (<50 nmol/L 25OH vitamin D3) with 5% severely deficient (<25 nmol/L). In late summer, 2% were deficient. The odds of vitamin D deficiency were higher in children aged 24–48 months, for those not using formula milk and those not adhering to the supplementation guidelines. Conclusion One-third of Dutch infants and toddlers were found to be vitamin D deficient in late winter. Suggested strategies for raising the vitamin D status may include improving the adherence to supplementation, a sensible sun exposure or the use of fortified foods. Special attention is needed for the children aged 24–48 months.

Introduction: Most children with serious infection diseases suffer from malnutrition. Vitamin D participates in the immune response through endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) regulation. The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3], AMPs [LL-37 and human β-defensin 2 (HBD-2)] in the children with pertussis. Methodology: Serum levels of 25(OH)D3, LL-37, and HBD-2 were detected in 116 children with pertussis aged at 1–12 months (67 males and 49 females). Fifty healthy infants at similar age were employed as normal controls. Results: The serum 25(OH)D3 levels in the children with mild (27.30 ± 5.98 ng/ml) and severe (24.40 ± 6.27 ng/ml) pertussis were significantly lower than that in the healthy group (30.16 ± 5.13 ng/ml; p <0.01). The vitamin D deficiency rates in children with mild (55.9%) and severe (78.12%) pertussis were significantly higher than that in the control group (34%; p < 0.01). The serum levels of LL-37 and HBD-2 were significantly higher in pertussis patients. Spearman rank correlation analysis did not show any correlation of 25-(OH)D3 with LL-37 or HBD-2. Conclusions: Most children with pertussis had vitamin D deficiency accompanied by elevated serum LL-37 and HBD-2 levels. However, the average level of 25(OH)D3 at 26.50 ng/ml in the infants with pertussis may not affect the immuno-regulatory ability; thus, the infants with pertussis still maintained a higher level of AMPs (LL-37 and HBD-2) against pertussis infection.
