Core Tip Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to bronchiolitis, yet the therapeutic benefit of supplementation remains uncertain. In this randomized controlled trial, a single intramuscular dose of 200000 IU vitamin D3 significantly shortened hospital stay and reduced oxygen and intravenous fluid requirements in children with bronchiolitis who were vitamin D deficient, but not in those with sufficient levels. These results suggest that targeted supplementation may improve outcomes in deficient children, supporting a test-and-treat strategy.
