Summary
Except for children with HIV, all recommendations for treatment of childhood malnutrition are
for children < 5 years of age. The overall goal of this randomized controlled nutritional
feasibility trial is to identify whether families of children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) >
5 years of age agree to participate over a 12-week period. The investigators will also
establish a safety protocol for monitoring potential complications associated with treating
severe malnutrition in children > 5 years of age with and without SCA, in a low-resource
setting.
