APPLICATION OF VITAMIN D IN BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

Bronchial asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by bronchial hyperreactivity. Data have been obtained on the role of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of this disease. A genomic association between vitamin D and asthma has been established. Vitamin D exerts anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. In pregnant women with insufficient intake of antioxidants and vitamins D and E, there is a high risk of giving birth to children with Atopic dermatitis and bronchial asthma. The administration of vitamin D to children helps reduce respiratory diseases and alleviate the course of asthma.
