title: Increase in C-reactive protein and lipids in adolescents with psychiatric disease.
abstract: Eighteen adolescent patients with severe psychiatric disorders were compared with healthy, eutrophics adolescents for the presence of inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors. We found significant differences in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Our results show, evidence of an inflammatory status and a deleterious lipid profile, in a very early state of psychiatric disease.
