Resumen :	Purpose: Given that vitamin D (25(OH)D) contributes to immune defense, we sought to determine if deficiency of 25(OH)D was significantly associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection.

These patients were cross-referenced with a prospectively collected MRSA infection database at the AVAMC (2006–2010).
