ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the changes in the serum levels of 25-(OH)D3 and immunoglobulins in children with bronchiolitis, and the clinical significance of these changes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Serum levels of 25-(OH)D3 were measured using ELISA in 35 children with bronchiolitis in the acute and recovery phases and 20 healthy children. Serum levels of immunoglobulins were determined by rate nephelometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the healthy children, serum 25-(OH)D3, IgG and IgA levels in children with bronchiolitis in the acute phase were significantly lower and, in contrast, serum IgE levels were significantly higher (P<0.05). Serum 25-(OH)D3 levels increased and serum IgE levels decreased significantly in the recovery phase compared with the acute phase in children with bronchiolitis (P<0.05). However, compared with the healthy children, serum 25-(OH)D3 and IgA levels were significantly lower and serum IgE levels were significantly higher in children with bronchiolitis in the recovery phase (P<0.05). Serum 25-(OH)D3 levels in children with bronchiolitis in the acute phase were positively correlated with serum IgG (r=0.36, P<0.05) and IgA levels (r=0.63, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with serum IgE levels (r=-0.72, P<0.01). A negative correlation was found between serum 25-(OH)D3 and IgE levels in children with bronchiolitis in the recovery phase (r=-0.34, P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Serum 25-(OH)D3 levels decrease and there is immunoglobulin level imbalance in children with bronchiolitis, suggesting that 25-(OH)D3 and immunoglobulins may play important roles in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis.</p>
