Changes in lipid metabolism in pediatric patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Author's response re. “Changes in plasma lipid profiles in sepsis.”

First of all, we would like to thank Chiarla et al. [1] for the recognition of our work. There is limited knowledge concerning the lipid profiles of critically ill pediatric patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome; thus, we conducted our study to evaluate whether changes in lipid profiles were present in children admitted to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) with a clinical diagnosis of severe sepsis/septic shock and whether these changes were attenuated according to clinical improvement [2].
