hls-6401	Kheir, Abdelmoneim E.M.; Gebreel, Balla G.	C-reactive protein as a marker of infection in children with severe acute malnutrition in Khartoum state, Sudan	2017	5	.pdf	application/pdf	3841	162	62	Amesty-Valbuena et al. reported a similar finding as they found high CRP levels in children with marasmus.20 The weaker response in the edematous group is not surprising and can be explained by the fact that Children with kwashiorkor, how- ever, differ from those with marasmus in having slower rates of whole-body protein breakdown, which may reduce the avail- ability of endogenous amino acids for CRP synthesis.19 It is interesting that there is one study which found that CRP levels in response to infection are lower in malnour- ished than in well-nourished children.21 Conclusions These results showed that malnourished children are able to synthesize CRP in response to an infectious process and the magnitude of this response is more in those with severe infections. In conclusion malnourished children are able to synthesize C-reactive protein in response to an infectious process and the magnitude of this response is increased in those with severe infections.	cache/hls-6401.pdf	txt/hls-6401.txt
