Abstract

Biochemical and radiographic abnormalities linked with phosphorus deficiency syndrome (PDS) developed in two very low birthweight (VLBW) infants fed exclusively with human milk. By increasing phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) intakes with the introduction of a specialized premature formula, osteopenia or rickets, as well as hypophosphatemia, hypo‐phosphaturia and increased serum alkaline phosphatase levels improved in both patients. We speculated that all VLBW infants who are being fed exclusively with human milk should be monitored for PDS and that if PDS develops, supplementation of human milk with both P and Ca appears to be necessary for its treatment.
