Özet:

 

Vitamin D has effects on a large number of organs and systems, starting from the intrauterine period. Its severe deficiency during the neonatal and childhood period leads to a disease called the Rickets. Therefore, in this report we review the topic of Vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women and neonates, which we believe represents a significant public health issue. 
Material and Method: In this study, we prospectively investigated healthy mothers, who gave birth vaginally or by cesarean section during the 37th to 42nd weeks of gestation and their term babies at the Duzce University Medical Faculty Hospital. We investigated the correlation between the serum vitamin D levels of the mother and the baby and the baby’s percentiles, and the reflections of this deficiency on the babies from the mothers with vitamin D deficiency. 
Results: Serum vitamin D levels of 45 mothers and 45 babies were investigated. The mean vitamin D level was 13.4 ng/mL among the participating mothers, among babies was 8.6 ng/mL. There was a statistically significant correlation between the vitamin D levels of the mothers and babies. 

Conclusion: 
If applicable, D vitamin level should be investigated in mothers prior to planning of pregnancy and treatment initiated in case of deficiency; if this is not applicable, vitamin D level should be evaluated as a routine control parameter during pregnancy. We believe that timely diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency of the mother could prevent potential vitamin D deficiency in the baby.
