Effect of ketogenic diet for drug-resistant epilepsy on immunological cells

The current study aimed at assessing the effect of KD-induced ketosis on different immunological cells since ketosis is reported to affect neutrophil function.We recruited 21 pediatric patients diagnosed with DRE assigned to start KD. Anthropometric measurements, complete blood picture with differential count, phagocytic function, lymphocyte subsets, and IgG...
