GROSSARY
CD4+Tcells: they
are the T. lymphocytes that use CD4 co-receptors to bind onto other cells.
Gastrointestinal infection: are infections of
digestive tract affecting human
Infection: the process of entry of a parasite
into a host and its subsequent establishments multiplication within the host's
body.
Malnutrition: Any disorder or condition
resulting from excess or deficient nutrient intake. Malnutrition takes both
forms: under nutrition (wasting, underweight, stunting or micronutrient
deficiencies) and over-nutrition (overweight and obesity).
Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM): a form of
under-nutrition that results from inadequate protein or calorie intake to meet
an individual's needs for normal growth, body maintenance, and the energy
necessary for ordinary human activities.
Stunting: A slowing of skeletal (linear)
growth that results in reduced stature or length relative to age, a condition
that usually results from extended periods of inadequate food intake and/or
frequent infection, especially during the years of fastest growth for children.
TRAC PLUS: Treatment and Research AIDS Centre
and includes (Plus) the National Malaria Control Program (PNILP) and the
National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Program (PNILT).
Underweight: A condition that reflects a
deficit in weight for age or low weight-for-height; a composite measure of
stunting and wasting.
Wasting: A
condition that reflects a deficit in weight relative to height due to a loss of
both tissue and fat mass, usually resulting from recent severe inadequate
nutritional intake and/or episode of illness.
