Rickets and other nutritional deficiencies have largely been eradicated in the industrialized world. However, strict adherence to modern diet trends such as veganism may leave individuals vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies if proper supplementation is not followed. The effects of such deficiencies due to diet trends, particularly in children, is not well documented as occurrences are rare. Here we present a case of a 3-year-old female fed a strict vegan diet which led to the development of nutritional calcipenic rickets, failure to thrive, and nephrolithiasis.
佝偻病和其他营养缺乏症在工业化国家已基本根除。然而,如果不进行适当的补充,严格遵循纯素食主义等现代饮食趋势可能会使个体易患营养缺乏症。由于饮食趋势导致的此类缺乏症的影响,尤其是在儿童中,由于病例罕见,相关记录并不充分。在此,我们报告一例3岁女童的病例,该女童食用严格的纯素饮食,导致营养性钙缺乏性佝偻病、生长发育迟缓及肾结石。
