Abstract

Inflammatory processes and infectious diseases induce a constellation of host responses referred to as acute phase response (1,2). These responses include changes in immunologic, metabolic, neurologic, and endocrinologic functions. Although many of its components are far from being understood, it is generally believed that the acute phase response serves to regain normal homeostasis.
