description BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease that is caused by the Brucella species. This disease is common in Iran and its incidence is increasing .This study measures serum vitamin D levels in patients with brucellosis and healthy people. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research was conducted as a case-control study at Tohid Hospital, Sanandaj, Iran. The calculated sample size included 90 patients in the case group and 90 patients in the control group. The measurement of vitamin D levels in the case and control groups were performed by ELISA. RESULTS: The mean serum vitamin D level was 19.91 ng/ml in the case group and 22.87 ng/ml in the control group. (Serum vitamin D level <10 ng/mL is accepted as deficiency, 10–30 ng/mL as insufficiency, 30–100 ng/mL as sufficiency, and >100 ng/mL as toxicity). CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of vitamin D deficiency (p-value=0.097).
