Abstract
Background: Vitamin D3 (VD3) levels have been recently found to be responsible for a number of immunological, anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious roles. Some studies reported that some forms of Fungal sinusitis, occurs more commonly in patients who are more susceptible to VD3 deficiency. The aim of this work was to measure VD3 levels in patients with Invasive fungal sinusitis. Methods: We report a prospective case control study conducted at Kasr el ainy hospitals. It included 60 participants divided into 2 groups: group A, 20 patients with invasive fungal sinusitis and group B 40 healthy volunteers. Results: There was a statistically significant (p< 0.05) difference of Vitamin D between groups A compared with group B. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regard calcium levels , other laboratory investigations and clinical data . Conclusion: Serum level of Vitamin D in patient with Invasive fungal sinusitis IS significantly lower than that of control subjects
