Abstract
We report two cases of nutritional deficiency with skin symptoms associated with excessive intake of wine and beer, causing respectively pellagra and zinc deficiency. Supplementation with niacin and zinc had a prompt effect on the skin changes. These cases emphasize the importance of keeping nutritional deficiencies in mind in patients with inadequate nutrition and alcohol abuse.Entities:
