Serum Triglyceride Elevations in Patients with Septicemia

Abstract
Among 239 patients with septicemia or endocarditis 41 (17%) had serum triglyceride levels in excess of 2.2 mmol/l (mean 3.1 mmol/l). This was more common in infections with gramnegative rods than gram-positive cocci (p < 0.001). A return to normal levels occurred in 22/37 patients during the course of the infection.
