    Content Inside:
     Nutritional rickets has multiple presentations like skeletal deformities, tetany, hypocalcemic seizures, recurrent diarrhea, dental abnormalities, developmental delay and floppiness. Here a rare presentation of nutritional rickets is reported in five months old baby who had respiratory distress since two months and signs of respiratory distress resolved after start of vitamin-D supplementation.
