Serum level of immunoreactive Parathormone are elevated instead. We report a four month old infant in status epilepticus associated with hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and raised parathyroid hormone level. Hypocalcemia was resistant to calcium therapy initially but responded to vitamin D analogue therapy leading to diagnosis of Pseudohypoparathyroidism.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.10602">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v34i2.10602</a></p> <p>J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2014;34(2):166-167</p><p> </p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society}, author={Singh, Gurmeet and Thapar, Karuna and Malhotra, Preeti}, year={2014}, month={Oct.}, pages={166–167} }
