Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Severe childhood malnutrition (SCM) occurs as both oedematous and non-oedematous syndromes. The reasons why some children develop oedematous SCM (OSCM) have remained elusive but differences in clinical presentation among malnourished children from similar backgrounds suggests that there might be inter-individual variation in susceptibility to OSCM. AIM: To estimate the strength of the association...
