Vitamin D enhances antiviral responses in dengue virus-infected macrophages by modulating early-response gene expression

Abstract excerpt

Dengue virus (DENV), the etiological agent of dengue fever, remains a global health concern, leading to severe illness and death in the absence of any definitive cure. Research has shown that vitamin D may reduce DENV replication in vitro and that dengue patients with low or deficient vitamin D levels are at higher risk of severe dengue.
