Hypercalcaemia in infants and young animals

Abstract

further infant died later from pneumonia; there was no autopsy. Of the fourteen surviving children, twelve have been followed up for periods of 1-4 years. All twelve are free from symptoms and have apparently recovered completely. Two are still below the third percentile of weight for their age, three are in the 10th percentile, three in the zgth, and four in the 50th. Only one is below the third percentile in height, three are in the third percentile, two in the Ioth, four in the zgth, one in the 5oth, and one in the 75th. These details indicate that as a group the children are still below average height and weight, although they are not seriously retarded and it may be expected that they will achieve their expected growth levels in due course.
