PP-019 Plasma lipids levels in patients with acute bacterial infections

Abstract: To assess the impact of acute bacterial infections on plasma lipid levels and to determine the value of plasma lipid measurements in the diagnosis of acute bacterial infection. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 112 patients with acute bacterial infections admitted in hospital and 112 healthy individuals as controls. Levels of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides were measured in blood samples of all subjects. Mea… Show more

“…Some other studies described specific lipid pattern changes during acute viral and bacterial infections. [64][65][66] Because no data on lipid levels before the malaria or febrile episode were available, it was impossible to ascertain whether lipoprotein levels were low because of the malaria episode, or whether the patients were susceptible to malaria infection because of low serum lipids caused by another mechanism. In one study, decreased levels of HDL-C and TC were associated with a larger risk for nosocomial infections.…”

“…During infection, the changes of the lipid and lipoprotein metabolism induce anti-inflammatory effects that contribute to the host defense [7]. Besides the role of lipid transport, circulating lipoproteins participate in innate immunity by binding and detoxifying lipopolysaccharide and toxins of gram-negative, and lipoteichoic acid of Gram-positive bacteria [7].…”

“…Infections also produce alterations in the composition and function of lipoproteins [78]. The existing evidences suggest that change in lipoproteins level during infection is a part of acute phase response of innate immune system [6].…”

“…Alvarez and Romas [35] mentioned that serum levels of high-density lipoprotein were significantly (p<0.05) decreased during sepsis. Nassaji et al [36] conducted a study among patients with acute bacterial infections and found the lower serum levels of TC and high-density lipoprotein and non-significant differences in TG and low-density lipoprotein as compared with the control. A study found that critically ill infected patients had lower TC and high-density lipoprotein when compared with non-infected patients [37].…”

“…Lipid peroxidation is one of the most important expressions of oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species [40]. Infections produce alterations in the composition and function of lipoproteins, including changes in sphingolipid concentrations, decreased reverse cholesterol transport, and increased oxidation of lipids [36]. Infections facilitate cytokine-induced alterations in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism leading to decreased serum levels of TC, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein [41].…”
