title: [Clinical and biochemical aspects of riboflavin deficiency in Haiti].
abstract: A study has been carried out in Haiti, involving 65 human subjects, mostly children, 39 of which had clinical symptoms of riboflavin deficiency, in order to correlate clinical symptoms and erythrocyte glutathion reductase activity. Angular stomatitis was associated with overt biochemical deficiency in 25% of the cases examined and in most cases seemed to be related to other nutritional or infectious disorders.
