Implication of the study: At the all period, we learned to diagnose children with severe acute malnutrition and the management of acute complications of SAM, how to transfer them from one phase of management to another depending on their response to treatment. Most of children came with hypoglycemia and hypothermia were very lethargic and needed immediately care and responded quickly after management, those with diarrhea and vomiting spent more days in stabilization phase than those without these conditions and plump nuts were good in weight gain during rehabilitation phase and children loved them.
