Efeito da suplementação com vitamina D em pacientes com COVID-19: uma revisão da literatura. 2020. 23f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Farmácia) - Departamento de Análises Clínicas e Toxicológicas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2020.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/35686SARS-CoV-2, a virus belonging to the class of β-coronavirus, is responsible for the current pandemic of Covid-19 and is involving world science in search of effective treatments and prophylaxis. The innate immune system is impaired by Vitamin D deficiency, thus predisposing patients infected with viral infections, such as Covid-19. Vitamin D supplementation appears as an adjuvant alternative in the treatment of Covid-19. Thus, in this review, 764 articles were initially analyzed in the databases: PubMed and Science direct, during the research the descriptors were used: “Covid-19” AND “Vitamin D supplementation”. After evaluating the titles, 151 articles were analyzed and then the abstracts and full text of the articles, leaving 3 studies. The studies differed in relation to dose, type of formulation and number of patients, however, all presented favorable outcomes in patients who were supplemented with vitamin D, such as a shorter ICU stay for patients infected with Covid-19. The revised included papers showed evidence that vitamin D can be an effective therapy as an adjunct to the treatment of Covid-19, despite the limitations presented in each study.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Covid-19Suplementação da vitamina DCoronavírusbachelorThesis
