[pronut-hiv] Supplementation for moderately malnourished HIV-infected children

["Zeina Makhoul" <zeinamakhoul@yahoo.com>]

  Hello,
   
  Does anyone know:
   
  What is the best approach to supplement moderately malnourished (weight for age z score between -2 and -3) HIV-infected children with PlumpyNut or Supplementary Plumpy?  I read papers where they did it per kg body weight but the children were severely malnourished. Are there age-specific guidelines for moderate malnutrition where RUTF is used as a supplement instead of therapeutic food? Or are there any guidelines for treatment of moderate malnutrition?
   
  Thanks!!
