Abstract Results: The mean level of vitamin D in cases was 4.4 ± 11.14 ng/ml, and it was deficient in 75% of the cases and insufficient in 15% of cases. The mean vitamin d level in cases was significantly lower than that in controls (27.18 ± 7.8 ng/ml). Conclusion: Serum levels of 25 (OH) Vitamin D3 in pediatric acute acquired demyelinating diseases of the nervous system are significantly lower than levels in healthy controls, raising a possibility that vitamin D deficiency may be a risk factor for the development of various autoimmune neurological diseases. |
