Vitamina D, sus posibles efectos en la función inmune y la respuesta ante la COVID-19: una revisión sistemática exploratoria

The disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus (COVID-19), is capable of eliciting a rapid and well-coordinated innate immune response, considered as the first line of defense against viral infection. The aim of this review was to present the state of the literature in relation to vitamin D, immune system and COVID-19 up to September 2020. Several hypotheses describe the mechanisms in which vitamin D reduces the risk of infections caused by different microorganisms.
