    Abstract

    Background: Acute bronchiolitis is a prevalent viral respiratory illness and can have mild to severe clinical manifestations that necessitate critical care therapy. One micronutrient that is important for both intracellular and extracellular processes is calcium. Respiratory infections have been linked to vitamin D insufficiency, and blood calcium and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels are controlled by vitamin D metabolism. Therefore, calcium levels could be the real biological cause that determines how severe respiratory infections are.
