Abstract
Pneumonia is the leading cause of mortality in under five children. Studies show zinc deficiency is associated with pneumonia We concluded that severe pneumonia is associated with lower serum zinc level and lower the serum zinc levels the higher the respiratory distress and lower the oxygen saturation. However large scale studies are needed in this field.
