Abstract Background: Although in many studies, the relationship between autoimmune hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) and Vitamin D deficiency was shown, no research has been performed on the role of vitamin D in non-autoimmune hypothyroidism.Methods: This was a case-control study in Endocrinology clinic of Jahrom (south of Iran). The patients with Hashimoto (n=633) and non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism (n=305), along with a control group (n=200) were evaluated. 25(OH) D level, T3 and T4 levels were studied and Anti TPO and Anti TG tests were performed. The results of vitamin D level were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS in terms of the cause of hypothyroidism (immune and non-immune).Results: The results of the study showed a significantly lower level of vitamin D in both immune and non-immune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in comparison to healthy controls (P<0.05). We observed a significant inverse correlation between the vitamin D and TGAb level (p=0.001, r=-0.261) and a direct correlation of vitamin D with TSH level (p=0.008, r=0.108) in Hashimoto thyroiditis patients.Conclusion: Finally, the results indicated that non-autoimmune hypothyroidism, as well as HT, is associated with vitamin D deficiency. The role of vitamin D deficiency in Hashimoto thyroiditis was thought to be in the association of higher autoantibody (TGAb) level; while, there should be further studies determining vitamin D deficiency's role in non-immune hypothyroidism.

Background & Objectives: Various pathophysiological mechanisms and risk factors have been identified in patients with restless leg syndrome and there exist other factors also that are yet to be identified and are under-researched. Evidence suggests a possible link between Vitamin D deficiency and Restless leg syndrome.The aim was to study the Vitamin D levels in patients diagnosed with RLS and to find a correlation between Vitamin D and RLS. Methods: This was a case-control study carried out in the outpatient department of the Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences Kashmir.A total of 144 subjects were enrolled in the study. Fifty-one were diagnosed cases of RLS and 93 were healthy controls.The Vitamin D levels were analysed by the chemiluminescent immunoassay method in both cases as well as controls.The descriptive statistics were used for various socio-demographic and clinical variables.The data were analysed by chi-square test, t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The vitamin D levels were significantly low in the RLS group in comparison to the control group. There was a significant correlation between vitamin D levels, vitamin D deficiency and restless leg syndrome (OR= 1.01, p-value 0.005 and OR= 5.40, p-value <0.0001 respectively). Interpretation &conclusions: Vitamin D levels were low in patients with RLS. This signifies vitamin D may have some role in the pathophysiology of RLS.Vitamin D regulates the nervous system development and function therefore, its use can be considered in the management of RLS when other modalities cannot prove as a promising agent.

Background: Pneumonia is a common disease with significant morbidity and mortality. There is evidence that vitamin D deficiency can be associated with an increased incidence of lower respiratory illness requiring hospitalization. The objective of this study investigated the impact of vitamin D status on the susceptibility of pneumonia in children the design is Case - Control study, Duration of this study is One year (October 2016 -November 2017) and Setting is Niloufer Hospital, Hyderabad, India. In this study participants are 50 children aged 5 months to 5 years with pneumonia and 50 healthy children of the same age were studied.Methods: In this case-control study, children aged 5 months to 5 years with pneumonia were compared with healthy children of the same age as the control group. Serum levels of vitamin D in both groups were measured by chemiluminescence method. Mean serum levels of vitamin D in patients with pneumonia and control groups were compared using t test.Results: The mean serum levels of vitamin D in the group with pneumonia and the control group were 25.98±14.8 ng/mL and 31.18±15.81 ng/mL, respectively. The difference between the two groups was significant. However, this difference was more significant in the age group of 24 to 60 months.Conclusions: According to findings, a low level of Vitamin D is associated with a higher incidence of pneumonia and more severe disease. It is recommended to pay more attention to vitamin D deficiency in infectious diseases, particularly in pneumonia patients.
