Vitamin D status was inversely associated with risk of community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis hospitalization in a community-living adult population.
PMID: Nutrients. 2014 Jun 10 ;6(6):2196-205. Epub 2014 Jun 10. PMID: 24918697 Abstract Title: Vitamin D level and risk of community-acquired pneumonia and sepsis. Abstract: Previous research has reported reduced serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels is associated with acute infectious illness. The relationship between vitamin D status, measured prior to acute infectious illness, with risk …
Vitamin D inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
PMID: Ital J Pediatr. 2019 Mar 29 ;45(1):41. Epub 2019 Mar 29. PMID: 30922377 Abstract Title: Vitamin D inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines in the airways of cystic fibrosis patients infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa- pilot study. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Vitamin D plays an important role in inflammatory responses after antigen exposure. Interleukin-23 (Il-23) promotes Il-17-dependent inflammation during Pseudomonas …
The evidence from this meta-analysis indicates an association between vitamin D deficiency and an increased risk of community-acquired pneumonia.
PMID: Medicine (Baltimore). 2019 Sep ;98(38):e17252. PMID: 31567995 Abstract Title: The association between vitamin D deficiency and community-acquired pneumonia: A meta-analysis of observational studies. Abstract: Emerging evidence has shown that vitamin D deficiency may be related with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but individually published studies showed inconclusive results. The aim of this study was to quantitatively …
