  • Title: Calcitonin and calcium therapy in an infant with osteogenesis imperfecta congenita.
    Author: Lanes R, Toledo T, Obregon O.
    Journal: J Am Coll Nutr; 1983; 2(1):101-6. PubMed ID: 6886241.
    Abstract:
    Calcitonin has been helpful in the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta tarda inhibiting bone mineral resorption. The experience with salmon calcitonin in the early treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta congenita is very limited. Here we report an infant with this disorder treated with calcitonin from 3 to 15 months of age with clinical and radiographic improvement.
