Abstract
No clear association between early life vitamin D levels, Tregs and food allergy outcomes in childhood were observed in this study, warranting further investigation in a larger cohort. Eight infants with egg allergy were retested at age 4, revealing that 3 were persistently egg allergic and 5 had naturally resolved their egg allergy. Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with reduced regulatory T cell frequency in food-allergic infants To the Editor, The influence of vitamin D on human health is strongly associated with tolerogenic immune function, skewing the immune response toward a regulatory phenotype.
