    Author: Lorentzen HF, Fugleholm AM, Weismann K.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Dec 11; 162(50):6854-6. PubMed ID: 11187143.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of nutritional deficiency with skin symptoms associated with excessive intake of wine and beer, causing respectively pellagra and zinc deficiency. Supplementation with niacin and zinc had a prompt effect on the skin changes. These cases emphasize the importance of keeping nutritional deficiencies in mind in patients with inadequate nutrition and alcohol abuse.
