Abstract

Maternal D vitamin deficiency is a common and important health problem in the world. It is one of the major risk factors for neonatal vitamin D deficiency and neonatal hypocalcemia. The neonatal vitamin D concentration depends on the maternal vitamin D status. We report two neonates with late-onset hypocalcemia and maternal vitamin D deficiency.

Keywords: Maternal vitamin D deficiency, Newborn
