The constant occurrence of some evidence of rickets in cases of tetany referred to by the older writers, and again recently emphasized by Brown and his co-workers² is now generally recognized. The calcium and phosphorus content of the serum of infants with active tetany have been determined by Kramer, Tisdall and Howland,³ who found that the calcium was markedly reduced in all instances and in about half the cases the concentration of the inorganic phosphorus was normal or even above normal.
