title: Congenital rickets--a patient report.
abstract: We present a premature newborn with congenital rickets, born to a mother with untreated chronic renal insufficiency. X-ray films showed blurred metaphyseal ends and decreased bone density in the femurs and ribs. With treatment including calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D, her rickets healed and she grew normally.
