Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the effect of vitamin D on the course of bronchoobstructive syndrome in children and to determine its relationship with cytokine status. The
study involved 86 patients aged 3 to 15 years with acute obstructive bronchitis, recurrent
obstructive bronchitis and bronchial asthma. The patients underwent a single set of diagnostic
studies: clinical examination, immunological study, study of the level of vitamin D in the blood
serum. The results of the study showed that vitamin D deficiency was accompanied by the
development of secondary immune deficiency.
