Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are vitamin D deficiency in community-acquired pneumonia : low levels of 1,25 ( OH ) 2 D associated with disease severity?
Answer: For 1,25-OH2, we found a significant and independent (controlled for age, season and pathogen) negative correlation to pneumonia severity. Therefore, supplementation of non-activated vitamin D to protect from pneumonia may be non-sufficient in patients that have a decreased capacity to hydroxylate 25-OH to 1,25-OH2.
Output (English): yes
