摘要：

Vitamin supplements are inexpensive and might improve health status in settings where infections are major public health problems. In developed countries, infections pose important economic burdens. As suggested by Barringer and colleagues' study in this issue, the potential impact of supplements merits further rigorous study, especially among diabetic persons and other vulnerable populations.
