The coronavirus pandemic has lasted for more than a year now and still remains the leading cause of concern, worldwide. The causal agent; SARS- CoV-2, leads to the development of respiratory distress in the lower respiratory tract, sometimes leading to fatalities. Keeping in mind the discovery of mutant strains across the world, as well as the delay in vaccinations across vast populations, most people speculate boosting their immune systems as a preventive and precautionary measure. One of the most commonly observed conditions that hamper immunity; Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to the onset and the alteration of course of the disease in patients and is also being explored as a potential drug supplement. These surmises make it essential to study deep into the speculations. This review aims to overview the possible correlations between Vitamin D and COVID-19.
目前，冠状病毒大流行已持续一年有余，仍是全球关注的首要问题。致病因子 SARS-CoV-2 可导致下呼吸道呼吸窘迫，有时可致人死亡。鉴于世界各地不断发现突变株，以及大量人群接种疫苗的延迟，大多数人推测增强免疫系统是一种预防和防范措施。最常见的一种会损害免疫力的情况是维生素 D 缺乏，它与患者疾病的发生和病程改变有关，也被探索作为一种潜在的药物补充。这些推测使得深入研究这些假设变得至关重要。本综述旨在概述维生素 D 与 COVID-19 之间可能存在的相关性。
