Answer :-
the wt and ht of the patient are below or near below 3rd percentile suggesting of malnutrition.The dilated cardiomyopathy may be due to long standing anemia or nutritional deficiency of micro nutrients like selenium, zinc ect or carnitine deficiency. There may be previously hidden viral myocarditis. T.B does not cause dilated cardiomyopathy itself directly.
