Abstract
Viruses can cause many human diseases. Three types of human diseases caused by viruses are discussed in this chapter: infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. The infectious diseases included in this chapter include three respiratory tract diseases: influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus. In addition, the mosquito-borne dengue virus diseases are discussed. Vitamin D can reduce risk, severity, and mortality of the respiratory tract diseases and possibly for dengue virus. Many autoimmune diseases are initiated by the body's reaction to a viral infection. The protective role of vitamin D in Epstein-Barr virus-related diseases such as multiple sclerosis is discussed. There are a few cancers linked to viral infections. Such cancers include cervical cancer, head and neck cancers, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and liver cancer. Vitamin D plays an important role in reducing risk of cancer incidence and mortality, although not as strongly for viral-linked cancers as for other types of cancer.
病毒可引发多种人类疾病。本章将讨论由病毒引起的三种人类疾病：传染病、自身免疫性疾病和癌症。本章讨论的传染病包括三种呼吸道疾病：流感、COVID-19 和呼吸道合胞病毒。此外，还讨论了由蚊子传播的登革病毒疾病。维生素 D 可以降低呼吸道疾病的风险、严重程度和死亡率，也可能降低登革热病毒的风险、严重程度和死亡率。许多自身免疫性疾病都是由机体对病毒感染的反应引发的。本文讨论了维生素 D 对 Epstein-Barr 病毒相关疾病（如多发性硬化症）的保护作用。有一些癌症与病毒感染有关。这些癌症包括宫颈癌、头颈癌、霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤以及肝癌。维生素 D 在降低癌症发病率和死亡率风险方面发挥着重要作用，但对与病毒有关的癌症的作用不如对其他类型癌症的作用大。
