Core Tip	This is the first prospective study assessing serum vitamin D levels in a Romanian population with inflammatory bowel disease. The results of the study highlight the low prevalence of sufficient vitamin D levels in patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, vitamin D levels were significantly lower in newly diagnosed cases, suggesting that disease treatment can help restore levels to some extent.
