What to know about rickets

Rickets is a typical pediatric disease and is caused by a defect in ossification of newly formed bone tissue, especially at the level of conjugating cartilages and areas of provisional calcification. Rickets affects both humans and animals in the first months of life. The term is also used in botany to describe plants that have developed irregularly due to pests or nutrient deficiencies.
