Kwashiorkor

This is a most common disease in developing countries where food supply is very limited. It is due to diet rich in carbohydrates and deficient in proteins. It is most common in children who suffer from symptoms like enlarged liver, swelling, diarrhea, fatigue and large belly. This disease can be treated with high protein diet mostly in the form of dried skim milk.
