THE HEALING OF RICKETS COINCIDENT WITH LOW SERUM INORGANIC PHOSPHORUS

Abstract
The clinical healing of late rickets coincident with a persistently low level of serum inorganic P has been observed in 2 children. The retention of Ca and P observed in each child was considered amply sufficient for the building of bone. The data reported do not offer evidence substantiating any of the prevalent theories of bone calcification; moreover, it is difficult to reconcile certain of these theories with the findings.
