Serum vitamin D and calcium levels among tuberculosis patients in Southern Ethiopia: a comparative cross-sectional study
Low vitamin D and calcium levels were observed among TB patients in Southern Ethiopia. These findings emphasise the need for routine micronutrient screening and considering supplementation in TB care. Further research is needed to clarify the clinical significance of these micronutrient levels in TB management.
