Background: The development of hypophosphataemic rickets in infants fed with the elemental formula (EF) Neocate® has been recently reported. We present seven cases of exclusively Neocate-fed babies who developed hypophosphataemic rickets.Presenting problem: Three patients (P1,3,4) had incidental findings of rickets on chest X-rays, two (P2,6) developed leg deformities and rickets was confirmed on X-rays, and two (P5,6) presented with femu...

Objectives: X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare inherited form of osteomalacia characterised by low blood phosphate levels which lead to inadequate mineralisation of bone and rickets. Burosumab is an anti-FGF23 fully human monoclonal-antibody, and the first treatment to target the underlying pathophysiology of XLH. Real-world evidence is important in validating the findings of clinical studies. We report relevant real-world biochemical data on children under five years ...

Objectives: X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare inherited form of osteomalacia characterised by low blood phosphate levels which lead to inadequate mineralisation of bone resulting in rickets, skeletal abnormalities, physical impairment, weakness, and pain. Burosumab is an anti-FGF23 fully human monoclonal-antibody, and the first treatment to target the underlying pathophysiology of XLH.
