Artwork of disorders due to vitamin deficiencies
Vitamin deficiency disorders. Artwork of various disorders caused by vitamin deficiency. They are (clockwise from top left): the loose teeth and bleeding gums of scurvy (lack of vitamin C); an X-ray of the bowed legs reveals rickets (lack of vitamin D); deficiencies in vitamins like folic acid may occur during pregnancy; the skin inflammation and blistering of pellagra (lack of niacin); the large deformed red blood cells (pink) in the blood smear are due to megaloblastic anaemia (lack of folic acid or vitamin B12); cracked lips, swollen tongue and the spread of enlarged blood vessels over the eye (lack of riboflavin, or vitamin B2)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork depicting the various disorders that can arise from vitamin deficiencies. Each disorder is represented in a distinct quadrant, forming a visual narrative of the detrimental effects caused by inadequate vitamin intake. Starting at the top left corner, we are confronted with scurvy's haunting manifestation: loose teeth and bleeding gums. This deficiency in vitamin C serves as a stark reminder of how crucial this nutrient is for our overall health. Moving clockwise, an X-ray reveals bowed legs, symbolizing rickets resulting from insufficient levels of vitamin D. This image emphasizes the importance of sunlight and fortified foods to prevent such skeletal deformities. In another quadrant, we witness the potential consequences of folic acid deficiency during pregnancy. The intricate artwork highlights the need for expectant mothers to ensure adequate intake of this vital nutrient to support healthy fetal development. Next, pellagra takes center stage with its skin inflammation and blistering effects due to niacin deficiency. The artist skillfully captures the distressing physical symptoms associated with this condition. The blood smear featuring large deformed red blood cells signifies megaloblastic anemia caused by insufficient folic acid or vitamin B12 levels. This portrayal serves as a poignant reminder that vitamins play a critical role in maintaining proper blood cell formation. Finally, cracked lips, swollen tongue, and enlarged blood vessels over the eye represent riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency—a striking visual representation showcasing how even seemingly minor deficiencies can manifest physically.
