Abstract

Vitamin A deficiency is endemic in resource-poor areas of low-and middle-income countries in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. Although rare in the United States, individuals at risk such as the homeless, those with malabsorptive disorders, or any person with a chronically poor diet may present pathognomonic clinical signs and symptoms.
