title: Alteration of serum glucose level in infection and surgical stress.
abstract: The present study was conducted to see the alteration of serum glucose level in infection and surgical stress. For this purpose a total number of 37 subjects in the age range (18 - 55) years were selected from Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from July 2003 to June 2004. Subjects were grouped as follows: control (n=13), infection (n=14) and surgery (n=10). Fasting serum glucose levels were estimated from all subjects by enzymatic calorimetric (GOD-PAP) method. A distinct and statistically significant increase in serum glucose level was observed in infection and surgery group in comparison to control group (p< 0.001).
