Abstract
Protein-calorie malnutrition in Thai infants and young children is associated with significant reduction in plasma selenium without change in red cell selenium. Plasma selenium was restored to normal levels by treating these children with therapeutic diets containing protein, vitamins, and minerals but no added selenium.Keywords
