This study explored the hypothesis that among Malawian children with severe malnutrition, those with kwashiorkor consume a diet with less micronutrient\u2010 and antioxidant\u2010rich foods, such as fish, eggs, tomatoes and orange fruits (mango, pumpkin and papaya), than those with marasmus. A case\u2013control method with a food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the habitual diet. Children with severe childhood malnutrition presenting to the central hospital in Blantyre, Malawi during a 3\u2010month period in 2001 were eligible to participate. The food frequency questionnaire collected data about foods consumed by siblings &lt;60\u2003months of age in the home. It was assumed that the habitual diet of all siblings 1\u20135\u2003years old in the same home was similar. Dietary diversity was assessed using a validated method, with scores that ranged from 0 to 7. Regression modelling was used to control for demographic and disease covariates. A total of 145 children with kwashiorkor and 46 with marasmus were enrolled. Children with kwashiorkor consumed less egg and tomato than those with marasmus: 17 (15) vs. 24 (31) servings per month for egg, mean (SD), <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.01 and 27 (17) vs. 32 (19) servings per month for tomato, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05. Children with kwashiorkor had a similar dietary diversity score as those with marasmus, 5.06 (0.99) vs. 5.02 (1.10), mean (SD). Further research is needed to determine what role consumption of egg and tomato may play in the development of kwashiorkor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740-8709.2006.00053.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,14]],"date-time":"2006-03-14T15:23:29Z","timestamp":1142349809000},"page":"114-122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["The quality of the diet in Malawian children with kwashiorkor and marasmus"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Jesse","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MacDonald","family":"Ndekha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dawn","family":"Maker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Hotz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark J.","family":"Manary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/134.10.2579"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcn\/76.3.646"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"306","article-title":"Antioxidant vitamins in malnourished Nigerian children","volume":"64","author":"Becker K.","year":"1994","journal-title":"International Journal of Vitamin and Nutrition Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.38427.404259.8F"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/130.10.2537"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","first-page":"565","article-title":"An interactive 24\u2010h recall technique for assessing the adequacy of trace mineral intakes of rural Malawian women;
