The severity of malnutrition in children with epidermolysis bullosa correlates with disease severity

Abstract WHO defines malnutrition as severe if the z-scores are less than − 3 Standard deviation (SD), moderate if between − 2 and − 3 SD and mild if between − 2 SD to – 1 SD. This study was aimed to assess nutritional aspects of Indian children suffering from EB and to evaluate the effect of severi...
