| description | <b>Study Objective</b>: It is a common opinion that vitamin D plays a role in many immune system disorders. This study aimed to determine vitamin D levels in patients with acne vulgaris.<br>
<b>Methodology</b>: The study sample included 90 patients who came to the outpatient dermatology clinic of Malatya Public Hospital between March 2015 and June 2015, and were diagnosed with cystic nodular acne clinically. The control group included 67 voluntary healthy individuals. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25-(OH) vit D3] levels were recorded for both groups.<br>
<b>Findings</b>: In the group of patients with acne, the 25-(OH) vit D3 level was 18.28±9.92 (reference interval 10–40 ng/mL), and it was 15.40±10.92 in the control group. When the two values were compared statistically, the result was p:0.924 (p>0.05) and there was no statistically signifcant difference.<br>
<b>Conclusion</b>: It is believed that vitamin D plays a role in the etiopathogenesis of acne vulgaris due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The studies conducted with larger patient sets canprovide a clearer view of the correlation between vitamin D and acne. |
