Title

OBSERVATION OF BITOT’S SPOTS AND SCLERAL MELANOCYTOSIS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN OF HILLY AREA.

Abstract

A survey was carried out with the aim of observation of Bitot’s spot and scleral melanocytosis among preschool children of rural area. Clinical examination of 437 preschool children was carried, WHO guidelines were followed. The data was collected and analyzed to find the prevalence of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). The present survey revealed the prevalence of Bitot’s spots (4.5%) and scleral melanocytosis (5.75%) among the preschool children. These health issues might be due improper diet, lack of awareness about health, hygiene and hereditary disease etc. We brought parents attention on these health issues and created awareness about importance of vitamin A among them.
