“…Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus of the genus Beta coronavirus [1], subgenus Sarbecovírus and the family Coronaviridae that causes the disease known as COVID-19 [2]. In Brazil, this disease has a lethality rate of around 10% in infected patients [2,3]. Although this disease in Brazil is a public and emergency health problem [4], specific vaccines that are able to control the spread with reduced risk of worsening symptoms have already been made available in the last months of 2022 [2,5].…”

Introduction: The disease caused by the new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was called COVID-19 and has currently been a public and emergency health concern in Brazil and other countries. Aim: This article aims to describe the statistical associations of a group of patients who progressed to death with COVID-19 and who had a low level of Vitamin D in the blood. Methods: This is an observational, case-control and clinical study involving 103 patients with COVID-19 and with severe symptoms that progressed to death. Results: A total of 92 patients (89.3%) infected with COVID-19 died and had serum vitamin D levels significantly lower than 30 ng/ml. However, a total of 80 (77.6%) patients had a Vitamin D level of less than 20 ng/ml. Compared with the control group, all-cell levels of inflammatory markers were significantly higher in blood serum when level with Vitamin D from COVID-19 patients in the treatment group (n ≤ 30 ng/ml). Conclusion: This study showed that patients with serum Vitamin D deficiency are more susceptible to the worsening of COVID-19 and it is generally associated with the release of cytokines as cellular markers mainly in the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines.

“…Pour aider les cliniciens et les Clat à mettre en oeuvre le traitement des infections tuberculeuses latentes, les nouveaux outils diagnostiques (tests immunologiques permettant de distinguer les infections tuberculeuses des réactions dues au BCG) doivent être évalués en France, notamment chez les enfants, et les travaux en ce sens favorisés. Enfin, et comme souligné par une étude récente[13], la coordination entre les Clat et les DDASS doit être améliorée pour assurer un suivi et une validation exhaustive des cas au niveau départemental. Le système de surveillance de la tuberculose en France a été amélioré ces dernières années, ainsi que la qualité des données renseignées, comme en témoignent les résultats.…”
