Serum vitamin D levels in a cohort of adult and pediatric patients with eosinophilic esophagitis.

CONCLUSION: In these patients with EoE, vitamin D levels were low overall (median <30 ng/mL). The only marker of sensitization associated with insufficient vitamin D in these patients with EoE was a positive skin prick test reaction to peanut.
