The etiology and prevention of rickets in prematures infants are still controversial: insufficient storage or intake in minerals and/or vitamin D, immature vitamin D metabolism, necessitating early vitamin supplementation, for some associated with calcium and phosphate supplementation. The authors report a case of rickets which could be related to an immaturity of the tubular mechanisms of phosphate reabsorption, with a favourable outcome following an increase in calcium and phosphate intake.
