ABSTRACT
Vitamin D deficiency is common in adults and even in children, appearing to be more frequent than expected.Accumulating data about the pleiotropic effects of vitamin D have raised renewed interest in this hormone. Severe burn injury represents a unique trauma leading to major systemic dysfunctions such as bone loss, mineral disruptions, myopathy, or immunosuppression. Moreover, burn patients are at high risk of hypovitaminosis D. In this context, vitamin D supplementation could help counteract post-burn sequelae. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current knowledge on vitamin D with a special focus on burn related hypovitaminosis D.
