Background: To study correlation of serum vitamin D level with osteoarticular infection Methods: All patients (5 to 65 years of age) were presented with pain and raised local temperature of osteoarticular joint or prosthetic joint in the Orthopaedic department of S.M.S. Medical college and attached hospitals, were included in the study. Results: The mean (SD) of S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Present group was 19.08 (8.41). The mean (SD) of S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Absent group was 18.53 (9.26). The median (IQR) of S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Present group was 17.7 (14.15-23.3). The median (IQR) of S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Absent group was 14.85 (11.6-23.3). The S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Present ranged from 8.2 -38. The S. Vitamin D (ng/mL) in the Osteoarticular Infection: Absent ranged from 9.2 - 46. Conclusion: Our study result were similar in respect to other authors but statistically not significant, therefore requires reopening of the debate on correlation of serum vitamin D with osteoarticular infections.
