Vitamin A deficiency can lead to serious eye problems and is often linked to selective eating habits in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
A study involving 13 children showed that many had significant neurological issues and obesity-related conditions due to low Vitamin A levels, with 61.5% of them also diagnosed with ASD.
Early identification of nutrient deficiencies through examining food intake is crucial for neuro-diverse children, as timely Vitamin A treatment can prevent long-term damage, including severe vision loss.

International studies show that latex sensitization (LS) rates among healthcare workers range from 7% to 17%, but the prevalence in Argentina is unclear.
A study was conducted on residents at a children's hospital to gauge LS prevalence and identify risk factors through questionnaires and prick tests from June to October 2017, including 113 participants.
The findings revealed a 7.96% LS prevalence, with a significant link between prior latex-related symptoms and positive prick test results, while no correlation was found between LS and the residency year.

- Florencia C Lynch's recent research highlights the health implications of nutrient deficiencies, particularly focusing on vitamin A deficiency and its correlation with food selectivity in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as seen in her article on vision impairment due to hypovitaminosis A published in 2024.
- The study described 13 pediatric cases demonstrating significant ophthalmological issues linked to severe vitamin A deficiency, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and intervention in at-risk populations.
- Additionally, Lynch's 2020 study investigated latex sensitivity and allergy prevalence among physicians in a children's hospital in Buenos Aires, aiming to assess risk factors and contribute valuable data on health care worker sensitization rates within the Argentine context.
