title: [Osteomalacia and pregnancy].
abstract: On the basis of two recent clinical cases seen in immigrants, the authors review osteomalacia and its relationship with childhood rickets. They demonstrate that treatment with a combination of calcium and vitamin D readily halts the progression of the disease during pregnancy; the major problem therefore consists of making the diagnosis.
