    Author: Frank GP, Voorend DM, Chamdula A, van Oosterhout JJ, Koop K.
    Journal: Trop Doct; 2012 Jul; 42(3):182-4. PubMed ID: 22785547.
    Abstract:
    Pellagra is a disease of poverty that is treatable but easily overlooked. The disease is caused by a deficiency of niacin and is clinically characterized by the triad of dermatitis, diarrhoea and dementia. We describe two cases of pellagra in a Malawian district hospital and discuss the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment of the disease.
