    Description: The edema exhibited by this African child was brought on by nephrosis associated with malaria. Infection with one type of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure. Swelling of the abdomen, eyes, feet and hands are some of the symptoms of nephrosis brought on by the damaged kidneys.

    Description: This late 1960s photograph depicts the swollen feet, also known as “pedal edema”, of a Nigerian child, (see also PHIL ID# 6901), who is suffering from kwashiorkor, a disease brought on due to a severe dietary protein deficiency. The feet of this child reveal pitting edema, which occurs as a result of pressure applied by an examiner’s fingertips upon the skin, causing an indentation in the swollen, fluid filled skin that persists for a long period of time after the release of the pressure; note the pressure points in both feet of this child.
