Evaluation of vitamin D levels in allergic and non-allergic asthma

Abstract: The vitamin D level was lower in asthmatic patients than in healthy individuals despite their hypersensitivity and increase risk of asthma. There was no relation between the vitamin D level and lung function, eosinophil count and total IgE level, whereas the lower vitamin D level was associated with higher BMI.

“…102,183 This would highlight the role of vitamin D in asthma. 184,185 In children with asthma, an impaired T-reg population with an altered cytokine spectrum and an increase in CD23 þ CD21 þ -expressing B cells has recently been observed. 186 The relationship of allergy with vitamin D deficiency remains a major issue.…”

“…Tamašauskienė et al showed no correlations between vitamin D levels and lung function (FEV1, FEV1/FVC) while an inverse positive correlation was noticed between vitamin D level and FEV1/FVC in asthmatic smokers [22]. Columbo et al found no significant association between serum vitamin D and spirometric values even in subjects with lower FEV1% (<70%) and after 12 weeks treatment with 2000 IU vitamin D 3 supplementation [23].…”
