Background: COVID-19 is associated with a weak immune system in the human body. Vitamin D plays a role in the body's immune system and is known to enhance the function of immune cells. In this case, vitamin D inhibits some of the inflammation that can make COVID-19 more severe. The is study aims to determine the serum levels of vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus in COVID-19 patients. Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted during the period from January 2021 to July

'Vitamin D plays a role in the body’s immune system and is known to enhance the function of '

'Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted during the period from January 2021 to '
'July 2021. 50 COVID-19 patients as a case study and 50 healthy individuals as a control group '
'were included in this study. Blood samples were collected from the study group and measured '
'for vitamin D using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Calcium and '
'phosphate were measured by the Cobas 6000 fully automated analyzer (Roche, Germany).
\n'
'Results: \xa0The study result showed that in COVID-19 patients, vitamin D (27 ± 5 ng/mL), '
'p-value = 0.000, and calcium (10.2 ± 4 mg/dL), p-value = 0.000, in comparison with control. '
'There was a correlation between vitamin D (r = -.771; p =.000) and calcium (r = -.752; p '
'=.000) and the severity of disease.
\n'
'Conclusions: According to our research, vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of '
'developing COVID-19 and the risk of developing severe illnesses.</jats:p>',
