kawashiorkar Transliterate it as Kawashiorkar OR proteeno(n) kii kamee say honey wAlA rog Explanation: I could not find a Hindi equivalent despite searching the most comprensive dictionaries. It appears that we have not evolved any word for it. Therefore, you may consider transliterating it as Kawashiorkar only. Alternatively, you may translate it as proteeno(n) kii kamii say honey wAla rog. Kawashiorkar is a disease caused due to deficiency of proteins. Symptoms-: (1) Child becomes irritable, anaemic & has an enlarged liver (2) Abdomen & feet of the child swells due to retention of water. (3) Brain development & mental capacities of child is retarded Cure-: A protein rich diet containing (1) Wheat, gram, peanuts, soyabean & jaggery (2) Animal protein like meat & fish -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 mins (2006-03-26 14:59:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- कवाशियोरकर /प्रोटीनों की कमी से होने वाला रोग |
