Correct Answer - Option 2 : Vitamin B1 - Pellagra

Explanation:

The Incorrect match is Vitamin B1 - Pellagra

  • Pellagra is caused by the deficiency of Vitamin B3
  • Vitamin B3 is also known as ''Niacin''. It plays an important role in releasing the energy from food nutrients like fat, protein & alcohol.
  • Apart from this, it is required for the synthesis of fats and proteins. It is found in a variety of foods like fish, poultry, leafy vegetables, avocado & potato.
  • The Pellagra has the following symptoms:
  1. Dermatitis: Inflammation, cracking & pigmentation of the skin that causes photosensitive dermal lesions.
  2. Diarrhea: Irregular bowel movements, abdominal pain & other digestive disturbances
  3. Dementia: The central nervous system gets affected which leads to disorientation, confusion, depression, fatigue, etc.
  • In severe cases, pellagra may cause the death of the suffering person.
