在过去的几年里，世界不发达地区的蛋白质-卡路里营养不良问题受到了极大的关注。在美国，关于夸希奥科尔的报道零星出现。1960年，戴蒙德和瓦希博纳(1)报告了肯塔基州一名11岁男孩的病例。1961年，查尔斯·沃尔夫博士(2)报告了纳瓦霍保留区的三例病例。这四起案件都与贫困有关。另一例由Taitz和Finberg从纽约市布朗克斯区报告(3)。在这种情况下，孩子的过敏性饮食非常有限，而医疗保健不足、母亲的无知和语言障碍是更大的责任。在所有这些情况下，时间病被认为是一种罕见的事件，并不被认为是美国时代周刊任何学龄前儿童群体中的重大营养问题。
I N THE PAST FEW YEARS much attention has been focused on the problem of protein-calorie malnutrition in the underdeveloped areas of the world. Scattered reports of kwashiorkor have been made in the United States. In 1960, Diamond and Vahibona (1) reported a case in an 1 1-yearold boy in Kentucky. In 1961, Dr. Charles Wolfe (2) reported three cases from the Navajo Reservation. All four of these cases were related to poverty. Another case was reported from the Bronx, New York City, by Taitz and Finberg (3). In this case, the child was on a very restricted Imypoallergenic diet, and inadequate medical care, maternal ignorance, and language barriers were more at fault. In all of these instances time disease was thought to be an unusual occurrence and was not considered to be a significant nutritional problem among any group of preschool cimildren in time United States.
