title: [Vitamin D3 poisoning and irreversible sequela].
abstract: Twenty-four children with vitamin D intoxication and a follow-up of one to thirteen years old (means: four years and seven months) are reviewed. Over-dosage was prescribed by medical order in 66.6% of patients and by the mother herself in 16.6%. Intensity of clinical symptoms (renal, neurologic, digestive) were related with daily dose administered whilst final secuelae depends on duration of overdosage. Hipercalcemia was easily corrected by association of low calcium diet, corticoesteroids and/or furosemide in least than a month in 81% of cases. Two patients died during the acute fase and 22.7% remain with permanent damage (five in chronic renal failure, one in haemodialysis and three with low IC).
