Abstract
Abstract Introduction: The immunomodulatory role of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OH vitamin D3) has been under evaluation for a long time. As tuberculosis (TB) and MDR-TB continue to be global health problems, evaluation of the role of 25-OH vitamin D3 deficiency in TB and its relation with bacillary load may help us in formulating a preventive therapy for the disease. Aims and Objectives: To assess serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in patients suffering from TB for the first time and to find the relation between serum 25-OH vitamin D levels in patients with bacillary load in respiratory samples. Results: The serum 25-OH vitamin D level was analyzed for bacillary load in the respiratory specimen in this study, which revealed that as the serum 25-OH vitamin D level decreased, the bacillary load was found to increase in the respiratory specimen.
