Hiyya,

 

Please could someone give me a helping hand...

Im working on an assignment linking the effects of zinc deficiency on nutritional status and pneumonia...

 

I understand that zinc deficiency affects: Th1 cytokine production, B lymphocyte help, antibody production, and causes an imbalance in th1 and th2....

 

Is anyone able to help me with the reason why there's a link to pneumonia?... like, what is it that zinc deficiency does that leaves us susceptible to pneumonia??

 

anyhelp would be most appreciated..

 

 

Thankyou
