Abstract:
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone, which has a wide range of physiological effects in human body.It has been found that vitamin D not only plays an important role in diseases of skeletal system, cardiovascular system and immune system, but also participates in the occurrence and development of infectious diseases.In infectious diseases, vitamin D regulates innate and adaptive immune responses by regulating a variety of immune cells and cytokines, and also plays a bactericidal role by mediating the expression of antimicrobial peptides.This paper briefly introduced the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and infectious diseases in children.
