Vitamin D insufficiency is regularly observed in human patients with tuberculosis but it is unknown if spontaneous mycobacteria infections in other species are associated with suboptimal vitamin D status. Serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were significantly lower in cats with mycobacteriosis than in healthy cats (P < 0.001).
维生素 D 不足在人类肺结核患者中经常观察到，但尚不清楚其他物种中自发的分枝杆菌感染是否与维生素 D 状态不佳有关。患有分枝杆菌病的猫的血清 25 羟基维生素 D（25(OH)D）浓度明显低于健康猫（P<0.001）。
