Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Vitamin D deficiency has been proved in serious diseases patients, including patients in shock, however, few study have been done about association between deficiency of Vitamin D and outcomes of children with bacterial meningitis.

in our study, we will observe incidence of complication and severity of complication between patients who have different Vitamin D status.
