Urinary excretion of adenosine 3'5' monophosphate in vitamin D deficiency
Urinary cyclic adenosine 3'5' monophosphate (AMP) excretion has been determined by radioimmunoassay in children with rickets and in control children. Cyclic AMP was greatly increased in children with rickets. The excretion of cyclic AMP correlated significantly with parathyroid hormone levels (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase, but not with age, calcaemia and serum inorganic phosphate. Calcium infusion led to a decrease in the excretion of cyclic AMP. The data are consistent with following hypothesis. During vitamin D deficiency, high PTH levels can increase the renal excretion of cyclic AMP. The effects of PTH on bone resorption fail to maintain the levels of serum calcium due to the lack of vitamin D. The mechanism by which the secondary hyperparathyroidism develops during vitamin D deficiency remains to be investigated.SCOPUS: ar.jFLWNAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Comparison of the Epstein-barr Virus (ebv) Antibodies Against Viral Capsid Antigen (vca) and Early Antigen (ea), in 2 Populations of Hospital Children From 0 To 15 Years Old Differing With Regard To Socioeconomic-status
Tetany Due to Hypomagnesaemia with Secondary Hypocalcaemia
The case is described of a 5-month-old boy who had convulsions and persistent tetany, associated with hypomagnesaemia and hypocalcaemia. Vitamin D treatment corrected the hypocalcaemia without modifying the clinical status; parenteral magnesium was given, but the child died shortly thereafter. The pathological examination showed calcinosis of the myocardium, kidneys and in one of the cerebral arteries
