pdf Association of Vitamin D and IL-7 Levels in Severity of COVID-19

Dr. Inas Sattar Abd

Abstract

Association among Vitamin D and IL-7 levels in severity of COVID-19 has harvested attention due to their roles in immune response modulation. Understanding these relations may provide insights into potential therapeutic strategies for managing COVID-19. Vitamin D is critical for both innate and adaptive immune responses; augmenting function of immune cells for instance T cells and macrophages. It has anti-inflammatory effects, potentially reducing the severity of cytokine storms attendant with severe COVID-19. IL-7 is vital for T and B cell development and survival with increased levels perceived in severe COVID-19 cases .It supports in recovery of lymphocyte populations that may be depleted through viral infections.

Aim of study to investigate association of vitamin D and IL-7 in severity of COVID-19
