	Condition seen when individuals with or without chronic malnutrition 
experience some form of acute stress.  This acute stress response is 
characterized

to inflammation, fever, increased vascular permeability, increased 
gluconeogenesis, and changes in hepatic protein synthesis.  Adrenaline and 
catacolamines are also elevated as counter-regulatory hormones. 
	We listed the follow symptoms that could be indicative of M/K; weight
