1.	Osteomalacia 11/01/1987 - "Both patients were treated with very large doses of vitamin D2 and phosphate without improvement in the osteomalacia or normalization of the serum phosphate. " 04/01/1982 - "The efficacy of vitamin D2 in the dose of 2000 IU daily in reversing anticonvulsant osteomalacia was studied in nine epileptic inpatients. " 01/01/1984 - "A possible role of vitamin D2 in producing osteomalacia is not easy to understand since normal serum levels of 25(OH)-D2, the circulating form of vitamin D2, have been reported.

Vitamin D2 administration (45 mg) resulted in increased 25-OHCC concentration to 28 ng/ml and in healing of pelvic osteomalacia.

Vitamin D Deficiency 12/01/1996 - "OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of a single oral dose of 150,000 IU of vitamin D2 at the beginning of autumn for preventing winter vitamin D deficiency in children in Ushuaia (55 degrees S). " 07/15/2005 - "CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrate that a majority of adults with CF have serum 25-OHD levels below 30 ng/ml, and the currently recommended ergocalciferol repletion regimen often does not fully correct vitamin D deficiency and may need to be revised to include even higher dosing of ergocalciferol.
