Answer:(Retinol Deficiency)
Vitamin A deficiency can result from inadequate intake, fat malabsorption, or liver disorders. Deficiency impairs immunity and hematopoiesis and causes rashes and typical ocular effects (eg, xerophthalmia, night blindness). Diagnosis is based on typical ocular findings and low vitamin A levels.
Scurvy
Scurvy is a disease caused by severe and chronic vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency.
