The association between serum 25‐hydroxyvitamin D and the prevalence of herpes simplex virus

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Objective

Previous studies have reported a potential anti-infection effect for vitamin D. However, the relationship between vitamin D status and herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection has not yet been evaluated. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and infection with HSV types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2).

Methods

Data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2007-2016. The association between 25(OH)D and HSV prevalence was evaluated using propensity score matching (PSM) and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.

Results

Overall, 14174 participants were included in the final analysis. Before PSM, 8639 (60.9%) had positive HSV-1 and 2636 (18.6%) had HSV-2. The HSV-1 and HSV-2 positive groups had more females and older individuals (P<0.05). The HSV-2 patients had lower 25(OH)D levels than those with HSV-1. Age and g ender did not differ in the groups after PSM (P>0.05). The 25(OH)D level was significantly lower in the HSV-1 and HSV-2 groups than in the non-HSV infection groups. Multivariate logistic regression showed that serum 25(OH)D level was negatively associated with HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection (OR=0.730 and 0.691, P<0.001, respectively). Vitamin D deficiency was an independent risk factor for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 (adjusted OR=2.205 and 2.704, P<0.001, respectively).

Conclusion

Lower serum 25(OH)D levels correlated significantly with increased HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection risk
