Zinc concentration was measured in the serum of 10 children with protein-energy malnutrition (eight with clinical signs of kwashiorkor, and two with marasmic-kwashiorkor) on the first, 15th and 30th day after admission. The zinc levels were significantly lower for these patients on the first day than those observed for children with good nutritional status. No significant increase in zinc concentration occurred in the serum of these patients during initial period of recovery of nutritional status. The possibility of zinc supplementation for malnourished children during recovery is discussed.
对10名蛋白质 - 能量营养不良儿童（8名有夸希奥科病临床症状，2名有消瘦型夸希奥科病）入院第1天、第15天和第30天的血清锌浓度进行了测量。这些患者第1天的锌水平明显低于营养状况良好儿童的观察值。在营养状况恢复初期，这些患者血清中的锌浓度没有显著增加。文中讨论了在营养不良儿童恢复期间补充锌的可能性。
