Abstract
Nerve conduction studies were conducted in 67 children to assess the effect of malnutrition on the peripheral nervous system. Significant reduction in nerve conduction velocities was demonstrated in severe protein energy malnutrition and ongoing long-term malnutrition.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
