However, in anorexia nervosa, the ability to respond to and recover from bacterial infections is reduced. The cause of this is clear, although it may be related to a reduction in the ability of white blood cells to move to the site of infection as a result of impaired cytokine production. There is also a reduced febrile response to bacterial infection in anorexia nervosa. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | Medical Management of Eating Disorders, p. 57-58 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | Cambridge, United Kingdom | ISBN: | 9780521727105 0521727103 |
