Infectious diseases such as malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea and preventable neonatal diseases are common causes of death in children. Globally, neonatal mortality is 44% (2.9 million) annually, with up to 50% of babies dying within the first day of life. Pneumonia kills between 750000 and 1.2 million infants in the neonatal period each year in developing countries. Premature birth, pneumonia, and labor complications are common causes of neonatal mortality. The objective of the study is to present the general characteristics of congenital pneumonia, vitamin D deficiency and micronutrient deficiencies in premature infants. To date, numerous studies confirm the relationship between the inadequate supply of the body with macro- and microelements and the development of diseases of varying severity, including metabolic disorders. Based on this, primary screening, aimed at identifying metabolic disorders of macro- and microelements and further drug correction, should become the main concept for the management of patients in modern times.
