Flaky paint dermatosis, characterized by extensive, often bilateral areas of flaking and pigmentation, mostly in sun unexposed areas is considered a feature of kwashiorkor in both children and adults, and must be differentiated from other dermatosis, including chapped and xerotica skin, and pellagra. In this case series we provide evidence that malnourished patients with flaky paint dermatosis and...
We investigated the relation between oxidative stress and the occurrence of the acute-phase response with serum ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol levels in patients with pressure sores. The following groups of patients were studied: 1) those who had patients with pressure sores, 2) those who had pneumonia, and 3) those who did not develop pressure sores or any type of infection (control). Concentrations...
We investigated whether hospitalized malnourished adults would have longer QTc intervals on their electrocardiograms (ECGs) than non-malnourished adults. Seventy-five consecutive adults hospitalized in the Internal Medicine wards of our teaching hospital were prospectively studied. Main diagnoses, anthropometry, including body mass index (kg/m 2 ), ECGs, and simultaneous serum levels of sodium,...
Malnourished patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) may have low serum levels and reduced intake of α-tocopherol, mainly in the presence of acute-phase response. The aims of this study were to compare intake and serum levels of α-tocopherol between malnourished (MN) and non-malnourished (NMN) AIDS patients and to correlate α-tocopherol intake and serum levels. Undernutrition was defined...
