Serum vitamins and Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children: a case-control study
Children with MPP exhibit significantly lower levels of VA, VD, VB1, VB7, and VC. The incidence of multiple vitamin deficiencies is notably higher in this group compared to healthy children, and a negative correlation exists between vitamin levels and neutrophil percentage. Multivariate regression analysis confirms that VA, VD, VB1, VB7, and VC were identified to be independently associated with MPP.
