| Abstract: | Vitamin A status was measured in 50 pre-school children with acute and persistent diarrhoea. It was measured by (a) Fluorometric
micromethod and (b) Conjunctival impression cytology (CIC). The results were compared with 25 normal children. Vitamin A status
was lower in children with persistent diarrhoea whereas the results were comparable between the children with acute diarrhoea
and control subjects. |
