Administer empirical, broad-spectrum systemic antibiotics (e.g., Ampicillin and Gentamicin) to all children admitted with severe acute malnutrition, even if clear signs of infection are absent. 6. Correct Micronutrient Deficiencies
Protecting children from infections like measles and pertussis, which trigger acute wasting. Protein Energy Malnutrition Ppt
Alternating bands of light and dark pigments (the "flag sign") reflecting periods of poor and adequate nutrition. The hair becomes sparse, brittle, and easily pluckable.
The World Health Organization (WHO) outlines a highly structured, 2-phase protocol for managing severe acute malnutrition to reduce the risk of mortality. Phase 1: Stabilization (Days 1–7) This public link is valid for 7 days

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM), also referred to as protein-energy undernutrition (PEU), is a state of macronutrient deficiency resulting from an inadequate intake of energy and protein.
Rely strictly on oral or nasogastric rehydration using ReSoMal (Rehydration Solution for Malnutrition), which contains lower sodium and higher potassium content than standard ORS. IV fluids should only be reserved for documented hypovolemic shock. 4. Correct Electrolyte Imbalance
PEM is broadly categorized into primary and secondary forms, depending on the root cause of the nutritional deficit. Primary vs. Secondary PEM
