No, Joseph Goldberg discovered with his experiment that pellagra appear when people take incorrect diet without nutritive aliments like eggs, meat, so is not infectiois disease.
Pellagra is not an infectious disease, at first the scientific community thought it was, but later it was proved that it actually is a dietary disease that can be easily cured.
No it isn't. It was though to be because many children from the orphanage suffered from the disease, but thanks to Joseph Goldberger and his study, we know nowadays that it was caused by the poor diet these kids were surviving by.
Pellagra is not an infectious disease. Initially, most scientist and doctors convinced that pellagra was caused by an infectious germ, but the inmates got the disease, the staff and physicians never did. Goldberger began focusing on what these people ate (basically they eat corn meal, corn mush, cornbread, cheap cuts of pork...). Goldberger felt that this diet of the southern poor lacked nutritious food like eggs, meat and milk and their absence was causing pellagra.
No, Pellagra is not an infectious disease as most of experts though. Goldberger has demonstrated that Pellagra is a nutritional disease caused by the lack of vitamin B3.
No. Joseph Goldberger actually came upon this conclusion, because he saw that in places where this disease was very frequent (in orphanages, prisons, etc), that, although many children or prisoners were sick, the staff members never did. This was due to the fact that this disease correlates directly with the nutrition of the individuals.
No it is not, though it was thought to be one. Just by that only residents in institutions like orphanages suffered the disease whereas staff didn't, you could imagine that it was infectious
No, although pellagra has long been believed to be an infectious disease, it is proven that pellagra is not an infectious disease and is related to food, as Goldberger proved.
The pellagra disease it is not an infectious disease. Goldberger proved through his study, with inmates, that the origin of this pathology is related with the diet of the patients, the lack of vitamins and minerals. Pellagra is a nutricional disease.
A few years after Goldberger died of cancer, it was discovered that the lack of the vitamin B3 is the cause of the appearance of pellagra. With the administration of this vitamin in the right time, this disease can be treated.
No, pellagra is not considered an infectious disease. At first, many scientist and doctors believed the root of the disease was in fact infectious, but the arrival of Joseph Goldberger and his doubts about it proved that they were wrong. Time went by and Goldberger began to think that the origin of the disease was to be found in the prisoner's diet, since their chance of having the disease was higher than the prison officer's.The results of his investigation lead to the conclusion that the lack of nutritious foods in the prisoners' diets was the cause of pellagra.

No, pellagra isn't an infectious disease. Goldberger knew it even before his experiment because in prison, only the prisoners suffered it.
Now we know it's caused by the lack of vitamin B3 from meats on some poor diets.
No, pellagra is not an infectious disease. It is caused by the lack of vitamin B3 on a diet.

It's really interesting how simple eating habits interfere so aggressively in our health, namely in the appearance of serious diseases.
