Rickets is not a fatal disease but if it is not corrected while children are still growing, skeletal deformities and short stature may be permanent.
Rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
how do u get rickets
Malaria, measles, polio, rickets, leprosy, and also river blindness still exist in some parts of the world today.
A deficiency in vitamin D, responsible for regulating the concentration of calcium and phosphates in the blood, leads to reduction in bone mineral density. In childrens bones, which are still growing, this leads to rickets. In some cases rickets can be caused by calcium deficiency.
No, rickets is not caused by microbes. Rickets is caused by a lack of vitamin D, calcium or phosphate.

Rickets is not a microbe. Rickets is a disease caused by the deficiency of Vitamin D, which is an essential vitamin (that is it is not produced by the body). Body gets vitamin D when sunlight falls on the skin.
