Malnourished child. View of a mother feeding enriched milk to her malnourished child. The child is suffering from visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar),caused by Leishmania sp. ,a parasitic protozoan.

This is the more serious form which causes fever,enlargement of the spleen,liver damage,and,without treatment,sometimes even death. Photographed in Sudan | |
