RESUMO
The functional capacity of the tryptophan-niacin pathway was studied in kwashiorkor patients presented without and with dermatosis. This was done in an attempt to correlate between the biochemical anomaly and the degree of severity of the disease. A correlation did exist between the severity of the disease and the excretion patterns of tryptophan metabolites
