Newly diagnosed active cases of tuberculosis (Group A) and unmatched healthy individuals (Group B) were recruited in the study. Serum samples were analyzed for Vitamin 25(OH) D levels and correlated between the groups.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The study included 54 newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients (Group A) (47 pulmonary and 7 extrapulmonary tuberculosis) and 87 healthy controls (Group B). Of the total 141 participants, 69 (49%) had severe VDD and 44 (31%) had VDD. The mean (SD) vitamin D level was significantly lower in patients having tuberculosis (12.6 \u00b1 7 ng\/mL) as compared to Group B (15.9 \u00b1 7 ng\/mL). The risk of tuberculosis infection was 2.13 times higher among those who had VDD (odds ratio = 2.13) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n -0.106), whereas those with severe VDD were at 3.2 times higher risk of developing tuberculosis (crude odds ratio = 3.2) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001) and severe VDD independently contributed to being diagnosed with tuberculosis (adjusted odds ratio = 3.1) (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.002).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Vitamin D levels are significantly low in tuberculosis patients and severe VDD independently contributes to
