%X the objective of this study was to compare growth retardation frequency, and 24-h food intake data of children with or without positive montenegro (leishmanin) test, examined in porteirinha town, brazil. daily nutrient intake was determined by 24-h food intake recall and the anthropometric data were compared to the standard values from who. montenegro-positive (n = 9) and montenegro-negative (n = 17) groups showed similar age (5.5 ¡À 1.9 vs 6.7 ¡À 2.3y), and energy (1,456.8 ¡À 314.8 vs 1,316.2 ¡À 223.8kcal) and protein (50.4 ¡À 16.7 vs 49.9 ¡À 13.9g) daily consumption, respectively. montenegro-positive children had higher percentage of stunting than their montenegro-negative counterparts (44.4 vs 5.9), suggesting that previous leishmania sp infection had negative impact on children's nutritional status.
