Abstract

The acute phase response (APR) to infection can alter blood-based indicators of micronutrient status. Data from a 3-mo randomized, controlled feeding trial in rural Zambian children (n = 181, aged 3–5 y) were used to determine the impact of the APR on indicators of vitamin A and iron status using baseline and final blood samples
