Sažetak

Aim To compare the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin
D, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, zinc, and thyroid stimulating
hormone between patients with warts and healthy individuals.
Methods This retrospective study enrolled 40 patients
with warts and 40 healthy individuals treated at the Ufuk
University Hospital, Ankara, between July and December
2017. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, folate,
vitamin B12, zinc, and thyroid stimulating hormone status
were evaluated retrospectively.
Results Participants with and without warts had similar mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, folate, zinc,
and thyroid stimulating hormone levels. However, patients
with warts had significantly lower mean serum vitamin B12
level (P=0.010). Patients with warts non-significantly more
frequently had decreased serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, ferritin, and folate (P=0.330, P=0.200, P=0.070, respectively).
Conclusion Patients with warts may require evaluation of
serum levels of vitamin B12, folate, ferritin, and vitamin D.
