Hypovitaminosis D and its consequences are significant complications in the course of untreated celiac disease (CD). We report a case that illustrates the natural evolution of osteomalacia in an adult patient with untreated CD and his response to vitamin D supplementation. In patients with complicated CD and hypovitaminosis D, vitamin D-2 replacement in high enough doses is important to improving functional performance and for the treatment of osteomalacia.
维生素D缺乏及其后果是未经治疗的乳糜泻（CD）病程中的重大并发症。我们报告一例病例，该病例说明了一名未经治疗的成年CD患者骨软化症的自然演变过程以及他对补充维生素D的反应。对于患有复杂CD和维生素D缺乏的患者，给予足够高剂量的维生素D2替代治疗对于改善功能表现和治疗骨软化症很重要。
