Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A child with protein-energy malnutrition has a weakened immune system, making them more susceptible to infections such as measles. Measles can be particularly dangerous for malnourished children and can lead to fatal complications such as pneumonia or encephalitis. Hyperglycemia, celiac disease, and diabetes are not directly related to protein-energy malnutrition and are less likely to cause death in a malnourished child.
