[pronut-hiv] Supplementation for moderately malnourished (6)

["K COUDERT" <coudertk@yahoo.fr>]

Dear Zeina,
The best solution to have an answer to your question is to ask directly 
Nutriset. You can ask Mamane Zeilani, the nutritionist of Nutriset ( you can tell him it is from me). He will probably answer that a new product exist for PLWHA like plumpy'soy, or that it exist a product like plumpy doz. 
Anyway he will  have an  answer.  email: mzeilani@nutriset.fr

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!!
