Therapeutic value of Vitamin D as an adjuvant therapy in neonates with sepsis.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Serum 25 (OH) vitamin D levels of neonates with early onset neonatal sepsis were significantly lower than healthy controls. Vitamin D supplementation improved sepsis score and decrease high levels of hs-CRP; this reflects the role of vitamin D as a target therapy for neonatal sepsis. Further studies are warranted to confirm the therapeutic value of vitamin D in neonatal sepsis. PMID: 31241441 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
