Children and a nurse attendant at a Nigerian orphanage in the late 1960’s CDC/Dr. Lyle Conrad Notice four of the children with gray-blond hair, a symptom of the protein-deficiency disease kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor sufferers, i.e., inadequate dietary protein intake, also show signs of thinning hair or “Flag Sign”, edema, inadequate growth, and weight loss. If started in time, improving calorie and protein intake will correct kwashiorkor, however growth is still stunted. JLConrad collection - Folder 2, Slide 037 CD_105_DH/ 007
