Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids in the assimilation of phosphorus and calcium in the body. It’s well-known for keeping calcium levels in check. Several studies have recently exposed that vitamin D plays a wide variety of roles in mineral equilibrium. Vitamin D synthesis pathways and receptors have been discovered in a number of tissues, where they play a crucial role in immune system regulation. In addition to osteomalacia and rickets, vitamin D deficiency is related to a number of bacterial and metabolic disorders. Vitamin D deficiency has been attributed to the spread of tuberculosis in latest studies. Vitamin D deficiency is typical in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. As a outcome, sustaining vitamin D levels in pulmonary tuberculosis would be beneficial to tuberculosis treatment. Vitamin levels can be preserved at recommended levels by maintaining a balanced diet and taking multivitamin supplements. This analysis distinguishes the function of vitamin D in a variety of infectious diseases, including tuberculosis, as well as the impacts of supplement of vitamin D on TB care. Because of the clinical improvements seen in tuberculosis patients after vitamin D supplement, more research is needed.
