N2  - Background: Treatment of atopic dermatitis is still a challenge.  Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most important factors in the  pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, thus supplementation with oral vitamin  D assumed to offer additional therapeutic option for atopic patients.  Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the possible role of  vitamin D in the treatment of AD whether it is induced by phototherapy  or given as an oral supplementation. Results: Both groups showed improvement of calcidiol level after  treatment with no statistical difference between them (p value = 0.666)  and also improvement of SCORAD index after treatment with no  statistical difference between both groups (p value = 0.172)  Conclusion: Oral vitamin D and NB-UVB are both effective in  treatment of atopic dermatitis.
