Brief summary

Participants were classified as normal or malnourished according to anthropometric measures. Serum albumin and zinc were recovered on the 1st and 7th days of hospitalization. Lymphocyte count was also recorded on the 1st and 7th days.

Detailed description

The investigators enrolled 14 consecutive patients with sepsis. Patients were classified as normal or malnourished according to anthropometric measures. As an additional evaluation of nutritional status, serum albumin and zinc were recovered on the 1st and 7th days of hospitalization. Lymphocyte count was also recorded on the 1st and 7th days. Investigators correlated nutritional status with lymphocyte count and zinc dosage.
