title: Pyridoxine therapy on Nigerian children with infantile spasms.
abstract: Nine Nigerian children, with infantile spasms, 4 boys and 5 girls age 2.5-15 months, were treated with high doses of vitamin B6. Unlike results from some European and Japanese centres, our results have not been encouraging. Possible reasons for this poor response are suggested.
