Question

Which one of the following is wrong matched?

• A. Vitamin-$B_{12}$ - Pernicious anaemia
• B. Vitamin-$B_6$ - Loss of appetite
• C. Vitamin-$B_1$ - Beri-beri
• D. Vitamin-$B_2$ - Pellagra

Answer 1

The correct option is D Vitamin-$B_2$ - Pellagra

Pellagra is caused by the deficiency of vitamin $B_3$ (Niacin). Symptoms of pellagra include inflammation of the skin, dementia, sores in the mouth and diarrhoea. Pellagra is mainly of two types, primary and secondary. Primary pellagra is due to lack of niacin and tryptophan in the diet. Secondary pellagra is due to a poor ability to use the niacin within the diet.

So, the correct answer is option D.
