Vitamin/hormone D plays an important role in pediatric rheumatology. Besides its antiinfectious effects, antiinflammatory function is currently studied. Randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study in adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) revealed, that vitamin D supplementation led to decrease in disease activity and to reduction of fatigue. In nonsystemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), vitamin D is a biomarker, which in combination with other clinical and laboratory markers plays a role in prediction of outcome (inactive disease). Study on periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis syndrome (PFAPA) detected association of low vitamin D levels with longer episode duration and shorter time between episodes. This paper review an information on vitamin D role in pediatric rheumatolog y and highlights possibilities of vitamin D supplementation in routine clinical practice.
