ANTIBODIES to fight infections, using nutritional energy and proteins (immunologists please clarify)
ALLOPATHOGENS other pathogens - liverfluke, hepatitis A, B and E, typhoid fever, polio, trachoma, various zoonoses etc
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTEROPATHY (EE)
• EE has been epidemiologically linked to living in an unsanitary environment
• People living in contaminated environments have leaky, chronically inflamed intestines
• Gut: short blunted villi, tissue infiltrated with inflammatory cells. Associated with ↑ energy, protein, carbohydrate needs
• Diverts nutrients from growth to infection fighting

What is stunting
Early PEM in childhood. Growth failure. The children in this picture were aged 2, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 years from left to right. The first two are normal but the last is grossly retarded in growth although the weight/height ratio is normal and there is no evidence of clinical malnutrition. Stunting is the commonest evidence of chronic, mild PEM.

Typical brain cells Extensive branching
Impaired brain cellsLimited branching
Abnormal, shorter branchesSource: Cordero E et al, 1993
The Double Threat of OD and Population Density
Spears, Dean (2012) ‘How Much International Variation in Child Height can Sanitation Explain?’ Rice Working Paper, 10 December 2012
Each circle represents a single Demographic and Health Survey round, reflecting one country in one year. The linear trend shows that children are shorter, on average, in countries where they are exposed to more OD. The circle sizes are proportional to population. The three largest circles represent surveys at different times in India
