Abstract
Particular groups of children, namely vegetarians, children breast-fed for an unusually long time, and black children are at risk to develop the nutritional deficiencies of vitamin D and Ca that lead to clinical rickets. The diagnoses in 4 cases were made by fortuitous radiologic examination, even though the children were receiving regular pediatric supervision, indicating a lack of awareness of the condition. The reemergence of nutritional rickets is emphasized and the different modes of its clinical presentation were illustrated.
