Complement (C(3)) was determined and related to various parameters of nutritional status and past infectious disease experience in a group of 53 rural preschool children in North India. Mean complement level was 25% lower than in an age-matched European reference population. Low complement (C(3)) levels were associated mainly with children who were both stunted and wasted, as well as with those who had experienced frequent purulent skin infections in the past.
对印度北部53名农村学龄前儿童的补体(C(3))进行了测定,并将其与营养状况的各种参数以及既往传染病经历相关联。平均补体水平比年龄匹配的欧洲参考人群低25%。低补体(C(3))水平主要与发育迟缓且消瘦的儿童以及过去曾频繁发生化脓性皮肤感染的儿童有关。
