Madhavi V.*, Kodandaraman T., Meghana G. and P. Lakshmi

ABSTRACT

Vitamin D deficiency is the most common cause of rickets. It prevents the efficient absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus. Rickets is an old disease, a nutritional deficiency and it is the bony manifestation of altered vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus metabolism in a child. We present a rare case of 7 year old female child presented with difficulty in walking, fever cough and cold. Her laboratory and physical examination finding aid in diagnosis of Rickets with Developmental Delay with Lower Respiratory Tract Infection. Treatment was symptomatic therapy and supplementation was initiated with ensuring adequate catch up growth. Vitamin deficiency has become an epidemic in children, and rickets has become a global health issue. Furthermore, inability to properly diagnose rickets can result in incorrect management which may even prove dangerous or futile.
