Kwashiorkor reflect the attitude of the humanity to itself. Even today we have failed to feed the children. I happened to visit one semi-tribal village three days ago. Every single individual was suffering from some kind of the nutritional deficiency. You can manage to improve the given nutritional deficiency. But the root cause remain untreated. That is poverty. The poor people can not manage to purchase the pulses. You tell the mother to add pulses to the diet of the child. But you are not sure that this will be done. Thirty years back, enough milk was produced in the area, where I live. Now you do not see the milk in the villages. How and why this happened in not known to me. I have seen the innumerable mango trees in my childhood. Now a days you no longer see the mango trees. It was the very good source of fruits, available to poor people in summer. You normally do not have vegetables and fruits in summer. The prognosis of Kwashiorkar can be good, but seem to be very poor.

Kwashiorkor is a protein deficiency disease. Ascarids (a type of parasitic worm) feeds off protein, denying it to the person, who then gets Kwashiorkor.
