Abstract
THE examination, by ultra-violet fluorescence microscopy, of frozen sections of fragments of livers removed by an improved biopsy procedure1 from twenty African pellagrins, soon after admission to hospital, revealed the presence in eight cases of an intense scarlet red fluorescence. This fluorescence was localized to the hepatic cells, and, when severe, could involve the entire lobule. When the fluorescent material was dissolved in the fat droplets in the hepatic cells, these assumed an intense crimson colour.
