| Summary, etc. | The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is spreading like wildfire with no specific<br/>recommended treatment in sight. While some risk factors such as the presence of comorbidities,<br/>old age, and ethnicity have been recognized, not a lot is known about who the virus will strike first<br/>or impact more. In this hopeless scenario, exploration of time‑tested facts about viral infections,<br/>in general, seems to be a sound basis to prop further research upon. The fact that immunity and<br/>its various determinants (e.g., micronutrients, sleep, and hygiene) have a crucial role to play in<br/>the defense against invading organisms, may be a good starting point for commencing research<br/>into these as yet undisclosed territories. Herein, the excellent immunomodulatory, antiviral, and<br/>anti‑inflammatory roles of Vitamin D necessitate thorough investigation, particularly in COVID‑19<br/>perspective. This article reviews mechanisms and evidence suggesting the role Vitamin D plays<br/>in people infected by the newly identified COVID‑19 virus. For this review, we searched the<br/>databases of Medline, PubMed, and Embase. We studied several meta‑analyses and randomized<br/>controlled trials evaluating the role of Vitamin D in influenza and other contagious viral infections.<br/>We also reviewed the circumstantial and anecdotal evidence connecting Vitamin D with COVID‑19<br/>emerging recently. Consequently, it seems logical to conclude that the immune‑enhancing, antiviral,<br/>anti‑inflammatory, and lung‑protective role of Vitamin D can be potentially lifesaving. Hence, Vitamin<br/>D deserves exhaustive exploration through rigorously designed and controlled scientific trials. Using<br/>Vitamin D as prophylaxis and/or chemotherapeutic treatment of COVID‑19 infection is an approach<br/>worth considering. In this regard, mass assessment and subsequent supplementation can be tried,<br/>especially considering the mechanistic evidence in respiratory infections, low potential for toxicity,<br/>and widespread prevalence of the deficiency of Vitamin D affecting many people worldwide. |
