Riboflavin deficiency in Madang infants.
83 healthy infants in Madang were screened for haematological variables and riboflavin status. 70 (84%) had evidence of riboflavin deficiency. It is suggested that pregnant and lactating women in this area may be deficient, and that riboflavin deficiency may protect infants against malaria.
