Abstract
ON a previous occasion, we were able to demonstrate that the intensely fatty liver is an invariable concomitant of pellagra in infants. This fatty liver responds poorly to a balanced diet with, or without, supplements of vitamin concentrates, chiefly of the B complex; it recovers slowly when treated with crude liver extract but is rapidly and completely healed by ventriculin1,2.
