Malnourished child. African father feeding his malnourished son protein-rich porridge. The boy is suffering from visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar),caused by Leishmania sp. ,a parasitic protozoan. The porridge boosts the child's immune system,increasing his chances of survival. Leishmaniasis is a tropical disease transmitted by bites from infected sand-flies. This is the more serious form which causes fever,enlargement of the spleen,liver damage,and,without treatment,sometimes even death. Photographed in Sudan | |
