Tetracycline absorption was studied in a group of normal healthy subjects and in adult male patients suffering from various nutritional disorders such as protein-calorie malnutrition, pellagra, anaemia, and vitamin B-complex deficiency. Tetracycline hydrochloride in doses of 10 mg/kg body weight was administered in a crossover design by oral and intravenous routes at an interval of one week. Absorption of tetracycline was determined from total 48-hour urinary excretion of the drug following each dose. It was observed that tetracycline absorption was significantly reduced in subjects with undernutrition and pellagra but not in patients with orolingual lesions due to vitamin B-complex deficiency and in patients with severe anaemia. Comparative studies on absorption of tetracycline, given in the form of capsule and solution, indicated that impaired absorption of tetracycline in undernourished subjects was not due to inadequate dissolution of the capsule.

A survey conducted in 1992, in 3 primary schools in a rural area of India's southwest Maharashtra State, assessed the prevalence of nutritional deficiency disorders among children, 5-15 years of age. Most common among the 1050 children examined were anemia (32.47%), vitamin A deficiency (9.8%), vitamin B-complex deficiency (2.57%), protein-energy malnutrition (2.38%), and vitamin D deficiency (0.19%). 69.52% of the children had perceived morbidity at the time of the initial visit to the schools. 68% were assessed as having poor personal hygiene, 30.47% were infested with worms, and 10.66% had acute respiratory infections. These children and their families were offered remedial services (immediate treatment, nutrition counseling) at successive follow-up visits, and improvements were made in school sanitation. Nutritional disorders represent a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and dropout among school-aged children in India, and school-based services directed toward the deficiency disorders identified in this study could have a major impact on child health.

In a cross-sectional study in Bhopal, India, mothers and other family members were surveyed by questionnaire, then 1000 randomly selected slum children were clinically examined, to detect nutritional deficiency diseases. Anthropometric measurements were also taken. Malnutrition classification followed the Harvard classification (weight in relation to the age of the child) modified by the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. The weight of the children was recorded using the Avery personal weighing machine. Of the 1000 children, 520 were males and 480 were females almost matched in age and birth order. The prevalence of various nutritional deficiency diseases comprised: protein calorie malnutrition (63.4%), vitamin A deficiency (23.4%), vitamin B deficiency (16.2%), vitamin C deficiency (2.6%), vitamin D deficiency (9.4%), fluorine deficiency (2.9%), and anemia (7.2%). The prevalence of malnutrition was 65.0% among females compared to 61.9% in males (p 0.05). However, higher grades of malnutrition (III+IV) were 13.12% among females in comparison to 7.87% among males (p 0.05); whereas lower grades of malnutrition (I+II) were 54.04% among males and 51.87% among females (p0.05). The birth order of the children was positively associated with their grades of malnutrition (p 0.05). On the other hand, an inverse relationship was observed between birth interval and grades of malnutrition (p 0.05). The prevalence of malnutrition was significantly higher among those children whose fathers were illiterate (p 0.05). In general, as the literacy status of father increased, the prevalence of malnutrition among children decreased. The prevalence of malnutrition had a positive association (p 0.05) with children's family size: 3 members (47.0%), 4-6 members (63.9%), and 7 members and above (70.6%). On the other hand, an inverse correlation was observed between socioeconomic status and the prevalence of malnutrition (p 0.05). The prevalence of malnutrition was significantly (p 0.05) higher among the children with a history of infection (81.8%) and worm infestation (77.0%) in comparison to those without history of infection (13.1%) and worm infestation (61.9%), respectively. Similarly, nonimmunized children experienced more malnutrition (66.4%) in comparison to immunized children (57.0%).

1. The histological changes of the bone marrow in fasted and rice disease pigeons are essentially the same. 2. The histological changes of the bone marrow in pure vitamin B deficiency consist of degeneration and edema and slight endothelial proliferation of the small vascular channels, but with active hematopoiesis. 3. The anemia of rice disease in pigeons is in large part a starvation anemia and not directly related to vitamin B deficiency.
