title: [Lipid metabolism in severely acute diarrheic disease in infants].
abstract: In a group of 34 infants with serious acute diarrheic disease, the authors study the total lipids, total and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides and lipidogram, in the acute phase of the disease and at a 10-day-interval from the first determination. Triglycerides have constantly increased values both at admittance and at the second determination, as a consequence of lipid mobilization in acute stage. This process continues due to the hypolipidic and hypocaloric diet. Esterified fraction of cholesterol has initially important decreases, tending to become normal in the interval studies, more evident in the healthy infant. Total lipids are increased in 10.5% of the cases and the lipidogram shows an increase of alpha-lipoproteins and prebeta-lipoproteins in 10.5% and 17.5% respectively of the cases in the first determination.
