ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the whole blood detection of 0-13 years old children infected with trace elements of magnesium ,zinc ,copper ,ferrum and calcium ,and infectious diseases .Methods we were measured the whole blood trace elements by the atomic absorption spectrometry in a population of 1 183 cases of infectious diseases ,the infection group were made up of the male 638 cases and female 545 cases ,according to the different infection system was divided into 828 infectious cases of the respiratory system ,251 cases in digestive system infection ,104 cases in other system infection .The control group used earlier to our hospital outpatient department of Pediatrics voluntary to examine for the healthy children in 160 cases ,including male 96 ca‐ses ,female 64 cases .Results Zinc ,ferrum and calcium that infectious diseases group compared with the control group was obvious difference(P<0 .05) .The trace elements that compared with the different age groups or the different infectious diseases were also difference ,In the middle of infectious diseases the lack of zinc ,ferrum ,calcium children aged 0-13 years old accounted for 14 .2% , 10 .3% ,6 .7% .Magnesium and copper′s deficiency is rare .Conclusion Children of infectious diseases aged 0 to 13 years show the lack of zinc ,ferrum ,calcium ,so we could have reasonable supplement according to the specific circumstances .
