marasmus

A severe form of protein-energy malnutrition characterized by energy deficiency and wasting of muscle and fat, typically occurring in infants.

Danh từ

This term is a clinical designation used primarily in medical and nutritional contexts to describe a specific type of severe malnutrition. It is distinguished from kwashiorkor, which is characterized by edema (swelling) due to protein deficiency, whereas marasmus involves a total deficiency of calories, leading to a skeletal appearance.

As a medical condition, the word is treated as an uncountable noun. It refers to the state of wasting rather than individual instances of the disease, and therefore does not typically take a plural form in professional medical literature.
