Nutritional Deficiencies During Normal Growth
2009, Pediatric Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :As the disease progresses, vitamin A deficiency leads to a breakdown of the cornea (keratomalacia) and permanent blindness. Vitamin A deficient children often have evidence of protein energy malnutrition and other complicating nutritional deficiencies.92,93 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 70 to 80 million children worldwide suffer from subclinical vitamin A deficiency without overt clinical signs or symptoms.94
