Vitamin D deficiency as risk factor for severe COVID-19: a convergence of two pandemics

2020-05-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Structured abstract</h4> <h4>Importance</h4> Vitamin D deficiency increases the incidence of respiratory virus infections. More than 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. If vitamin D deficiency is associated to incidence or severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, a global call could be made for vitamin D supplementation to mitigate the pandemic. <h4>Objective</h4> to determine if lower serum 25-hydrox...
