title: [Antioxidant activity of blood serum and blood enzymes in meningococcal infections in children and adults].
abstract: Aspartate transaminase activity (AST) was measured in the serum of children and adults suffering from generalized meningococcal infection. Activation of AST is only rarely detected in children, which is associated with higher protection from lipid peroxidation. The ratio between antioxidants and prooxidants was higher in children than in adults.
