All children were treated with antibiotics according to WHO classification and treatment of childhood pneumonia at health facilities 2012 [18], at enrollment after obtaining consent from parents and completing the baseline assessment, children were given a single injection of one ml of 100.000 IU of vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), vitamin D3 obtained from 2 ml vials containing 200,000 IU each (Devarol- S- 200.000 I.U. produced by Memphis for Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industries) and stored in manufacturer's recommended conditions in a dry, cool environment for 1-16 weeks (depending on the date of recruitment) . Syringes were labeled with a unique ID number and given by the blinded doctors choosing the next syringe with a randomization code.

Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Improvement of Pneumonic Children

Randomized Controlled Trial of Vitamin D Supplementation on Improvement of Pneumonic Children at Tertiary Pediatric Hospital in Egypt

Patients' percent change of Vitamin D (25 (OH)D) will be calculated to quantify the change levels before and after vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) administration through the equation:
Pediatric, Blood Vitamin D level (BVD) %change = [(BVD after - BVD before) ÷ BVD before] × 100

Patients with a Tyrosinemia type 1 or high-grade suspi-cion for Tyrosinemia type 1

For the development of the new biomarkers using the technique of Mass-spectrometry, a blood sample of maximal 7,5 ml blood will be taken from the patient via using a dry blood spot filter card. To proof the correct diagnosis a Tyrosinemia type 1, in those patients where up to the enrollment in the study no genetic testing has been done, sequencing of a Tyrosinemia type 1 will be done. The analyses will be done at: Centogene AG Am Strande 7 18055 Rostock Germany

Biomarker for the Early Diagnosis and Monitoring in Tyrosinemia Type 1 (BioTyrosin)

BioTyrosin - Biomarker for the Early Diagnosis and Monitoring in Tyrosinemia Type 1 - An International, Multicenter, Epidemiological Protocol

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) of the FAH gene will be performed. The mutation will be confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

The quantitative determination of small molecules (molecular weight 150-700 kD, given as ng/μl) within a dried blood spot sample will be validated via liquid chromatography multiple reaction-monitoring mass spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) and compared with a merged control cohort. The statistically best validated molecule will be considered as a disease specific biomarker.

Patients with Hypophosphatasia disease or high-grade suspicion for Hypophosphatasia disease

For the development of the new biomarkers using the technique of Mass-spectrometry 7, 5 ml EDTA blood and a dry blood spot filter card are taken. To proof the correct di- agnosis of Hypophosphatasia in those patients where up to the enrollment in the study no genetic testing has been done, sequencing of Hypophosphatasia disease will be done. The analyses will be done at the: Centogene AG Am Strande 7 18055 Rostock Germany
