Vitamin E Deficiency in Uganda

J. A. TULLOCH M.C., M.D., M.R.C.P., F.R.C.P.(E).1 and N. K. SOOD M.B., CH.B.(E.A.)

1 Address: Stracathro Hospital, Brechin, Angus, Scotland

Two hundred and eight admissions to one adult medical ward of the Mulago Hospital, Kampala, were studied for evidence of vitamin E deficiency. Of this number 30.3% were deficient. Patients with malnutrition, cerebrovascular accidents, and liver disease had a high incidence. The possibility that vitamin E deficiency is either etiologically related to the high incidence of cirrhosis of the liver in Uganda, or that it is the result of the liver disease, is briefly discussed.
