RESUMO
Conjunctival impression cytology was used to determine the extent of preclinical and clinical vitamin A deficiency in school children aged 8-13 years. Nearly 23% of the examined children had an abnormal cytology reflecting a poor vitamin A status. The differences in cytology results were not significantly affected by either age or sex.
