A resurgence of classic vitamin D deficiency rickets has been noted in the recent pediatric literature, but no mention of it appears in recent orthopedic journals. Three cases of vitamin D deficiency rickets occurred in children whose ages ranged from 14 to 17 months. Similar to the experience of others, all three occurrences were in young black children who were sustained on breast milk for prolonged periods (9-17 months). Differing from other cases in the recent literature, the patients' families were not consuming vitamin D deficient diets to comply with religious beliefs. Simple treatment with vitamin D supplementation was effective once the diagnosis was established.
近期儿科文献中已注意到经典维生素D缺乏性佝偻病有所复发，但近期骨科期刊中未提及。三例维生素D缺乏性佝偻病发生在年龄为14至17个月的儿童中。与其他人的经历相似，这三例均发生在长期（9 - 17个月）以母乳喂养的年幼黑人儿童中。与近期文献中的其他病例不同，这些患者的家庭并非因宗教信仰而食用维生素D缺乏的饮食。一旦确诊，补充维生素D的简单治疗即有效。
