Interaction and outcomes of vitamin D and corticosteroid administration in COVID-19 patients. A cursory overview of various mechanisms by which corticosteroids (i.e., dexamethasone) and vitamin D interact synergistically in patients with COVID-19 is shown in the schematic above, along with the outcomes of this interaction as reported in the present study. CRT = corticosteroid; PBMCs = human peripheral blood mononuclear cells; VDR = vitamin D receptor; 25(OH)D3 = 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
