The present study revealed ascorbic acid deficiency in the blood of many children with Down's syndrome. It also revealed a fairly definite connection between Vitamin C deficiency and diet in these patients and a similar link between ascorbic acid deficiency and this incidence of infections. Where necessary the prescription of Vitamin C for the prevention and treatment of recurring infection is therefore recommended, bearing in mind the valuable antioxidant properties of ascorbic acid that can be exploited in combating cell deterioration.
本研究揭示了许多唐氏综合征患儿血液中存在抗坏血酸缺乏的情况。研究还揭示了这些患者体内维生素C缺乏与饮食之间存在相当明确的关联，以及抗坏血酸缺乏与感染发生率之间的类似联系。因此，在必要时，建议使用维生素C预防和治疗反复感染，同时要铭记抗坏血酸具有宝贵的抗氧化特性，可用于对抗细胞退化。
