Published as a World Health Organization monograph, the book discussed the nature of the interactions between nutritional status and infection, and implicated the immune system as the critical intermediary.
The interactions of malnutrition and infection are synergistic, with each modifying the other in ways that cannot be predicted from studying just one condition or the other (Scrimshaw, Taylor, and Gordon 1968). The superimposed infection is more likely to be responsible for nutritional disease than a shortage of food alone.

8 gru 2022 · The inflammatory mechanisms that compose the innate immunity are strongly influenced by nutrition, and this interaction, when perturbed, can profoundly affect disease development. The immune system is able to destroy antigens through both innate and adaptive immune cells and finally through antibodies that are specific for each pathogen ( 2 ).
The cyclical relationship between poor nutrition, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, leading to immunological dysfunction and metabolic responses that further alter nutritional status is described and, wherever possible, related to physiological mechanisms.

ABSTRACT. Infections, no matter how mild, have adverse effects on nutritional status. The significance of these effects depends on the previous nutritional status of the individual, the nature and duration of the infection, and the diet during the recovery period.
