Abstract
Prolonged and exclusive breastfeeding without vitamin D supplements is a main determinant
of vitamin D deficiency rickets in children of immigrants living in Italy. Dark skin
may be an adjunctive factor for the development of rickets. Early signs and symptoms of
vitamin D deficiency rickets may be misleading mimicking a myopathy. In children with
vitamin D deficiency rickets low doses of vitamin D are efficacious and cost-effective,
and there is no indication to the administration of vitamin D active metabolites or very
high doses of vitamin D in this form of rickets. Paediatricians should check if the administration
of vitamin D supplements is regularly performed by parents mainly in children
with an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency.
