The results from Birmingham are very striking, but there were almost three times as many patients in the ISC ethnic group as in indigenous 'white' patients. A series with larger numbers of 'white' patients would be necessary to confirm the absence of seasonality in the 'white' population. The discussion reviews the evidence that vitamin D may have an important hormonal role in immunological defence in the prevention of tuberculosis
