Riboflavin deficiency in Madang infants

S J Oppenheimer et al. P N G Med J. 1983 Mar.

Abstract

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.
