ABSTRACT

Objective To study the character and clinical significance of electrolyte in the children suffered from different degree pneumonia on different periods. Methods The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine and phosphorus in the serum of children suffered from mild pneumonia group, severe pneumonia group and control group were tested respectively. The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium in the serum of children suffered from pneumonia during their acute period and convalescence were tested respectively. The levels of potassium in the serum of children suffered from pneumonia caused by various pathogens were detected too. Those results were analysed. Results The levels of sodium, calcium, magnesium in the serum of children in mild pneumonia group were obviously higher than those in severe pneumonia group(P
