Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a serine protease belonging to the collectins and an important factor in the inherited immune system. We aimed to reveal the distribution of different  MBL2  genotypes in patients diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis and pneumonia. A total of 147 patients who applied to Paediatric Emergency between 01.12.2019 and 31.12.2020 were included in the study. Patients were divided into two subgroups: Bronchiolitis and pneumonia. AA genotype was found to be significantly higher in healthy controls ( p  = 0.039). In the pneumonia group, both AB/BB genotype was significantly higher compared to healthy controls ( p  = 0.001). While the AA genotype was more common in patients with acute bronchiolitis, AB/BB genotypes were more common in the pneumonia group ( p  = 0.001). The presence of fever, crepitation, tachypnoea, pathological x-ray finding, and high leukocyte count are significantly more common in patients with AA genotype, while more than 3 days of follow-up duration and severe clinical picture were more common in patients with AB/BB genotypes ( p  &lt; 0.05, for all). Genotypes with low MBL expression were significantly more common in patients with pneumonia and severe infection. All these results reveal the importance of MBL polymorphisms and their expression in infections.
