Vitamin-D deficiency is associated with chronic bacterial colonisation and disease severity in bronchiectasis.
INTRODUCTION Vitamin-D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of respiratory infections. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and clinical importance of vitamin-D deficiency in patients with bronchiectasis. METHODS 25-hydroxyvitamin-D was measured by immunoassay in 402 stable patients with bronchiectasis. Patients were classified as vitamin-D deficient (serum 25...
متن کاملAuthor response—vitamin D deficiency and systemic inflammation in bronchiectasis.
Dr Charles Shee raises a further possible explanation for our finding of an association between vitamin D status and disease severity in bronchiectasis, that low vitamin D status represents a negative acute phase response to acute inflammation. Our study was cross-sectional and was unable to establish whether vitamin D deficiency is a cause or consequence of bronchiectasis. Possible explanation...
متن کاملRelationship between Vitamin D, Vitamin C, and Selenium Intake and Disease Severity and Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19: A Retrospective Study
Background and purpose: COVID-19 is a viral respiratory disease that results in high mortality. Evidence suggests that micronutrients affect viral and bacterial infections. This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of micronutrients (vitamin D, vitamin C, and selenium) on the disease severity in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Materials and methods: This retrospective cross-...
متن کاملCorrelation of Serum Vitamin D Levels with Chronic Rhinosinusitis Disease Severity
Abstract Introduction: The present study was conducted to investigate the association between the serum vitamin D levels and severity of disease in chronic rhino sinusitis (CRS) patients. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 93 patients suffering from chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRS w NP). Serum level...
متن کاملThe Polymorphisms in the Vitamin D Receptor Gene and Disease Severity in Sickle Cell Disease
Vitamin D is important in multiple aspects of health and its effects are mediated through the Vitamin D Receptor (VDR). We wanted to test the hypothesis that specific haplotypes of the VDR gene are associated with markers of disease severity, inflammation and bone health in Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Genotyping was performed on DNA specimens from 1141 study participants in the NIH-funded Silent...
