Of thirty children, aged between one and four years, with active rickets examined by Findlay (1909), only nine were anaemic, and he concluded that the anaemia was due to secondary complications of the rickets. Hess (1929) states that anaemia is usually found in advanced rickets, but is not characteristic. Parsons (1934) says that anaemia is in no sense a symptom of rickets, although a degree of...

OBJECTIVES Poor vitamin D status has been reported to be highly prevalent in many non-western immigrant groups living in Norway and other western countries. However, data on rickets are scarce, and the aim of the current study was to identify new cases of nutritional rickets in Norway in the period 2008-2012 among children under the age of 5 years. DESIGN Register-based cohort study. SETTIN...

prevention and treatment of the rickets of prematurity is an important aspect of the care of preterm infants. the purpose of this study was to compare the prophylactic effects of different doses of vitamin d on the clinical, biochemical and radiological indices of the rickets of prematurity. in a randomized clinical trial, 68 premature infants (<38 weeks) with birth weight under 2000 g, randoml...

Deficiency rickets results from a deficiency of vitamin D that is responsible for deficient calcium absorption, leading to failure of bone mineralization and cartilage bone growth, especially in children. We report the case of a 9-year-old girl who shows signs of rickets. Her family history, which includes similar malformations in several family members, led us to suggest vitamin D-resistant ri...

Rickets, though not a common disease in the affiliated population, is one of the diseases which affect the growth of children in the developing countries (where the nutritional deficiency is common). Rickets can be characteristically identified using the clinical features and they can be confirmed using biochemical investigation. In this article, we will discuss the various features of rickets ...

Rickets is not a disease of the past. We described a toddler who developed hypophosphatemic rickets associated with the use of elemental formula. This case highlights the importance of frequent monitoring of mineral metabolism in children receiving elemental formula and considering rickets in the workup of child abuse.
