Rickett's disease

Rickett's disease, commonly known as rickets, is a condition that affects bone development in children, leading to soft and weakened bones. It is primarily caused by a deficiency of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphate, which are essential for healthy bone growth. Symptoms can include delayed growth, pain in the bones, and skeletal deformities, such as bowed legs. Rickets can often be prevented and treated through proper nutrition, including vitamin D-rich foods, sunlight exposure, and supplements when necessary. Awareness and early intervention are key to preventing long-term complications associated with the disease.
