Here's a breakdown of those terms, focusing on their relation to the digestive system:

  • Ariboflavinosis is a condition caused by a deficiency of riboflavin (Vitamin B2). This deficiency can lead to symptoms affecting the mouth and skin, such as angular stomatitis and glossitis, which are part of the digestive tract.
  • Angular flavinosis is not a standard medical term, but it likely refers to angular stomatitis that is specifically caused by a flavin (riboflavin) deficiency.
  • Glossitis (likely what "Elossitis" was intended to be) is the inflammation of the tongue, often characterized by swelling and color changes. It can be a symptom of various nutritional deficiencies, including ariboflavinosis, and directly affects the oral cavity, the first part of the digestive system.
  • Diathesis is a general medical term referring to a predisposition or susceptibility to a particular disease or condition. It's not specific to the digestive system or a particular digestive ailment.
  • Angular stomatitis is an inflammatory condition causing cracks and sores at the corners of the mouth. It is a common symptom of ariboflavinosis and other nutritional deficiencies, affecting the oral cavity.
