considered a worldwide health condition due to its high prevalence and morbidity and mortality. Caused by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis)</span>, it is a respiratory infection spread by droplets that carry bacilli to the lower respiratory tract which, under adequate circumstances, may be highly contagious. Once located in the pulmonary tissue, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">M. tuberculosis</span> is detected by the alveolar macrophage toll-like receptors. This triggers an immune response to the infection that results in the activation of a highly complex set of processes. Several researchers have demonstrated that there is a possible genetic susceptibility towards developing the disease as occurs when there are mutations in the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">NRAMP1</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">MCP-1</span> genes, the gamma interferon and vitamin D (vitD) receptors, among others.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In 1983, the vitD receptor and its presence in immunomodulatory cells were discovered, revealing the immune actions of vitD and the potential implications of this for human disease. In a growing number of new studies, it has been suggested that vitD could consistently intervene not only in the immune system but also in the cardiovascular system and that it could be of use in cancer prevention. In several cross-sectional studies, low vitD plasma concentrations have been observed in patients with active or latent tuberculous infection, though it has not been possible to demonstrate a cause-effect relation. Other studies have confirmed the intervention of vitD metabolites in immunoregulation processes, since these are part of the first line of defence against tuberculosis through the expression of an antimicrobial peptide, cathelicidin. These metabolites are modulators of the macrophage function and have demonstrated <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">in vitro</span> their capacity to inhibit intracellular growth of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">M. tuberculosis</span>. Moreover, experimental studies have determined that vitD therapy improves the immune response to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">M. tuberculosis</span>.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The objective of the present study is to assess the clinical and epidemiological features of a cohort of patients for whom vitD plasma concentrations had been determined and to study the relation, if any, between vitD values and tuberculosis, paying special attention to the form of presentation.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Patients and method</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">From January 2010 to June 2012, a retrospective observational study was conducted in the Tuberculosis Unit of the Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.

However, they noticed a lack of prospective studies to help them determine how this relation occurred.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of therapy, vitD had already been used in the treatment of tuberculosis during the pre-antibiotic era<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a>. However, its possible reintroduction is related to the genetic identification of patients with polymorphisms in the human vitD receptor, such as the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Taql</span> tt genotype, who have shown a significant reduction in the sputum conversion rate following the incorporating 2.5 mg/day of vitD as a supplement to their antituberculous treatment<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a>. Furthermore, the therapeutic use of vitD is limited by its possible side effects, including the development of inflammatory reactions and iatrogenic hypercalcaemia if high doses are used (>100,000 IU/day)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a>. There is no evidence of other adverse events in daily, weekly, or monthly vitD administration regimes. Hence, scientists and clinicians recommend maintaining 25-hydroxy-vitDlevels at a minimum of 30<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ng/ml<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a>.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The main contribution of this study is that, on comparing a group of patients with their contacts, severe vitD deficiency seems to be an independent risk factor for active tuberculosis. Furthermore, we have observed an almost statistically significant tendency towards the risk of having extrapulmonary tuberculosis in patients with the lowest concentrations of this hormone, which leads us to believe that this group of patients will most commonly have the most severe clinical forms of the disease.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The retrospective design and the relatively low number of patients and infected individuals in this study make it impossible to determine whether vitD deficiency favours the development of active tuberculosis or if active tuberculosis lowers vitD values. However, no causality conclusions have been obtained from larger studies with a significantly higher number of patients, either. In this case, it was possible to analyse simultaneously patients with active tuberculosis and their contacts with LTBI, that is to say, individuals who were possibly exposed to the same source of contagion and who belong to the same race group and the same socioeconomic stratum. The different behaviour of the infection caused by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">M. tuberculosis</span> in the two groups, patients and contacts, suggests that higher values of vitD could have a protective role in relation to the development of active tuberculosis, as indicated elsewhere<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a>. There was no statistically significant relation between vitD values and the extrapulmonary clinical presentation or severity of the disease. However, we should indicate that the number of meningeal and disseminated forms was very low.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A further limitation that ought to be considered is that vitD determinations were not obtained at the same time of the year. Vitamin D values are known to vary according to the season. Even so, it is reasonable to assume that the distribution of these differences would affect patients and contacts with no active disease in a similar manner, given that family environment studies are conducted within a time framework that is very close to the reference case diagnosis.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It has been demonstrated that there is a connection between vitD deficiency and the risk of developing tuberculosis. Studies conducted to date do not allow us to determine an underlying cause-effect relation for this connection.
