    Snippet: Molecular studies have demonstrated the importance of the exacerbated immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection called cytokine storm in more severe patients with COVID-19. The pathophysiology is complex and involves several homeostatic factors; among them, the deficit of vitamin D draws attention because of the high frequency in the population. Some evidence suggests that patients with low serum vitamin D levels have a worse outcome, often requiring intensive care. This review analysed the studie
    Document: Molecular studies have demonstrated the importance of the exacerbated immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection called cytokine storm in more severe patients with COVID-19. The pathophysiology is complex and involves several homeostatic factors; among them, the deficit of vitamin D draws attention because of the high frequency in the population. Some evidence suggests that patients with low serum vitamin D levels have a worse outcome, often requiring intensive care. This review analysed the studies available in the global literature that address the benefits of vitamin D in COVID-19, relate its serum levels to the severity of the disease, and indicate it as possible prophylaxis and therapeutic in infection.
