| Summary: | Vitamin D deficiency in an exclusively breastfed child is
increasingly high in prevalence. However it is still not widely
reported. Surprisingly, it is still possible for this deficient to occur
even in an asymptomatic growing child. Nevertheless, failure to
diagnose it earlier, the child can succumb into failure to thrive and

report for learning point in primary care assessment for exact
detection of features of vitamin D deficiency that almost be missed.
This child benefits the prompt detection and treatment of his
condition. |
