UNLABELLED: Bisphosphonates are used for the treatment of childhood hypercalcaemia, especially that due to malignancies. Here we report the use of intravenous pamidronate for the treatment of hypercalcaemia due to vitamin D intoxication in a 3-month-old infant. Serum calcium levels were normalised without complications. CONCLUSION: pamidronate may be used in hypercalcaemia due to vitamin D intoxication in paediatric cases resistant to hydration, diuretics or corticosteroids.
