摘要：
Soon after the diagnosis of pellagra in a 20-year-old patient with beta thalassemia, bilateral intumescent cataracts rapidly developed. We believe the patient's crystalline lenses were at an increased oxidative state due to iron overload from the thalassemia. Depletion of the lens epithelial cells of an important antioxidative agent (glutathione) as a result of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency due to pellagra reduced the antioxidative capacity of the lenses. The oxidative damage led to rapid development of cataracts.
