  Noma is a term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to describe the middle stage of noma, which is a chronic condition caused by the effects of various diseases and improper feeding, resulting in damage to the spleen and stomach and depletion of qi and fluids.  The main manifestations of noma are that the child does not gain weight, becomes thinner and thinner, has a dull complexion, dry hair, is depressed or irritable, has a poor appetite, and has abnormal stools.
