These patients were randomly assigned following a simple randomization procedure (computerized random numbers) to either the honey group (group 1) or the malnourished control group (group 2) with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Each group consisted of 25 patients.
An additional 25 healthy infants and children with the same age range and of both sexes were recruited from the outpatient pediatric clinic of Ain Shams University, Egypt as a healthy control group (group 3).
The inclusion criteria was in whom the under nutrition is caused by inadequate energy intake, while the exclusion criteria included markedly ill patients, and children with chronic or severe systemic illness or malabsorption disorders, chromosomal aberrations, inborn errors of metabolism and cerebral palsy.
History taking with special emphasis on the dietetic history, history of any disease that might interfere with the nutrient intake or their use by the body and history of any acute or chronic illness. And full body Examination which include anthropometric measurements weight, height and mid arm circumference.
