Malnutrition Predisposes to Endotoxin-Induced Edema and Impaired Inflammatory Response in Parenterally Fed Piglets.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that endotoxemia and malnutrition in combination lead to acute-phase hyporesponsiveness and perirenal edema in piglets. This finding may have implications for pediatric patients that suffer from malnutrition, as their response to bacterial infections may differ substantially from patients of normal nutrition status.
