A case series of vitamin D deficiency in mothers affecting their infants

Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium homeostasis, prevention of rickets and the development and maintenance of the skeleton. We present three cases representing the spectrum of maternal vitamin D deficiency affecting the infants of deficient mothers. We would like to highlight the importance of antenatal screening of vitamin D in high-risk populations and the treatment of infants and mothers at risk following detection of deficiency.
