Abstract
Vitamin D supplementation reduced eosinophilic airway inflammation in patients with nonatopic asthma with severe eosinophilic airway inflammation, but did not affect sputum neutrophils. Also, a small effect on asthma control was observed. These findings suggest that vitamin D might have potential as an add-on treatment option in eosinophilic asthma.
