Alteration of serum glucose level in infection and surgical stress.
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).
