RIVERO-YEVERINO, Daniela et al. Vitamin D and respiratory allergy: state of the art. Rev. alerg. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.69, suppl.1, pp.46-54.  Epub 21-Mar-2022. ISSN 2448-9190.  https://doi.org/10.29262/ram.v69isupl1.1033.

An increasing number of studies are analyzing the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the development of sensitization and allergic diseases in genetically predisposed individuals, as well as the impact of vitamin D supplementation. This article reviews the literature on this subject. Clinical trials, meta-analyses and systematic reviews consulted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Ovid, Wiley Online Library, Springer, Cochrane and manual resources were included, with the keywords: vitamin D, 25 hydroxyvitamin D, cholecalciferol, asthma, rhinitis, allergy, 25-OH-D, 1,25 hydroxyvitamin D, supplementation. The results show a positive linear trend, however, differ. We should keep in mind that in the studies there is heterogeneity of population groups and associated factors, which may modify such studies. It is necessary to increase research to clarify this relationship and to have successful interventions from the patient’s approach to the strengthening of pharmacological and immunological treatment of allergic patients with these diseases.
