It is usually associated with poverty, poor maternal health and nutrition, frequent illness and/or inappropriate feeding and care in early life. Stunting prevents children from reaching their physical and cognitive potential, so appropriate management is needed. Case: weight for age but severely stunted and suggestive TB. Blood study result showed anemia with Mentzer index >13. Bone age showed the age of A 4 year-old girl was referred with breathing difficulty since 2 weeks accompanied with decreased appetite and weight. She was in normal 3 years and below chronological age. Management was focused on TB, nutritional, and anemia treatment.
