CASES of neonatal tetany not due to rickets were reported in the early 1900's. It was only during the last 30 to 40 years, however, that the relation between tetany in the newborn infant and hypocalcemia has been elucidated. Of great importance in delineating some of the factors that lead to the low calcium state in this age period was the work of Gardner et al.,1 who demonstrated that the feeding of cow's milk to infants during the immediate neonatal period caused the serum phosphate to rise and the serum calcium to fall.In recent years several other causes for . . .Keywords
