Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D is crucial for body functions, particularly in calcium absorption and immune system regulation, and this study focuses on its link to recurrent acute tonsillitis in children.
- Researchers found that children with recurrent tonsillitis had significantly lower vitamin D levels compared to healthy controls, with a Poisson regression analysis indicating that higher vitamin D levels correlated with fewer tonsillitis episodes.
- The study concludes that vitamin D deficiency is linked to increased rates of recurrent tonsillitis and suggests that future research should explore the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation to reduce these episodes.
Total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) is elevated in multiple allergic diseases and is considered a good predictor of atopy. Several studies have been performed on the association of IgE levels with the polymorphism of the gene in asthmatic patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between IgE levels and the genetic polymorphisms of the gene (T1, T2, T + 1, V4, S1, S2, and Q-1) in both healthy and asthmatic patients among Jordanians.
