C
hild malnutrition represents an insidious plague that
causes the death of 3.1 million children aged less than 5
years in the world every year. Recently, several studies have
looked at the effect of intestinal flora on weight regulation.
Our own objectives are to characterize the clinical profile
and the composition of the intestinal flora of malnourished
children and the healthy ones who are residents in the
city of Mascara (Algeria). And the other one is to specify
the impact of the administration of the renutrition milk on
intestinal microbiota composition of malnourished children.
In total, 40 children of both genders aged between 2 months
and 36 months were selected for this study. A clinical
examination with Pediatricians and microbiological analysis
of the fecal matter was carried out. The first results revealed
that malnourished children included in the study suffer
from severe malnutrition characterized by stunted growth
and remarkable underweight and their intestinal flora is
quantitatively and qualitatively different from that of healthy
ones on one hand and on the other hand the administration
of the milk of renutrition has no significant influence on the
composition of the intestinal flora in these malnourished
children.
