Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pellagra is a nutritional deficiency disease caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) in the diet. Symptoms of pellagra include mental confusion, scaly skin sores, and gastrointestinal problems. Blurred vision and dry eyes are more indicative of a vitamin A deficiency, while constipation and mild fever are non-specific symptoms that could be caused by a variety of conditions. Nasal congestion and trouble breathing are unlikely to be related to pellagra.
