    Author: Talat N, Perry S, Parsonnet J, Dawood G, Hussain R.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2010 May; 16(5):853-5. PubMed ID: 20409383.
    Abstract:
    To assess the association between vitamin D deficiency and tuberculosis disease progression, we studied vitamin D levels in a cohort of tuberculosis patients and their contacts (N = 129) in Pakistan. Most (79%) persons showed deficiency. Low vitamin D levels were associated with a 5-fold increased risk for progression to tuberculosis.
