Objective: To determine if hypovitaminosis D is an associated factor to the severity of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients. Material and methods: We conducted an analytical, observational, prospective, cross-sec-tional study. The study population were 89 pediatric patients with mild to moderate and se-vere atopic dermatitis treated at the dermatology service of the Hospital de Especialidades Básicas La Noria; which their serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) were analyzed and resulting in patients with hypovitaminosis D and without hypovitaminosis D. The comparison of variables between both groups of study was carried out using the student T test to means and Chi square to proportions. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated. Statistical significance was considered if p <0.05. Results: A total of 89 patients were analyzed in the study. The prevalence of hypovitamino-sis D in patients with severe atopic dermatitis was 82.86%. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis was 29.63%. The association between the study variables was significant (p = 0.00) and showed that patients with hypovitaminosis D had an OR (IC al 95%) de 11.48 (4 – 32.98) to suffer severe atopic dermatitis. In addition, no significant difference was found (p> 0.05) in BMI, sex, res-idence, family history of atopy, stress comparing level of severity of AD. Age and no sun exposure were an associated factor with severe atopic dermatitis (p <0.05). Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D is an associated factor to the severity of atopic dermatitis in pediatric patients.
