The Journal of pediatrics, 1994•europepmc.orgA single-day large dose of vitamin D (stosstherapy) was given to 42 patients with nutritional
vitamin D-deficiency rickets. Stosstherapy is safe and effective, obviates problems with
compliance, and, by evoking a response in 4 to 7 days in nutritional rickets, becomes a
valuable diagnostic aid for patients in whom initial findings do not clearly distinguish
nutritional rickets from familial hypophosphatemic rickets.
