Abstract
The authors studied the outcome of 108 infants < 6 mo with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) admitted in the Nutritional Rehabilitation Centres (NRC) at a teaching hospital. The most common symptom that the children presented with, was acute diarrhoea (35.2 %) followed by failure to gain weight (26.9 %). Seventy five (69.4 %) infants were cured after nutritional rehabilitation and 29 (26.8 %) were non responders. Fifty two (48 %) infants showed good weight gain after proper counseling or supplementary suckling technique alone.Entities:
