“…. Accumulating evidence suggests that both enzymes may be associated with different lipoprotein fractions [15,5]. Several previous studies have indicated that the serum levels of both esterases in man may be under hereditary control [32,33].…”

A high heritability estimate was obtained for serum arylesterase activity level in a series of 40 male twin pairs (23 MZ, 17 DZ) aged 33–39 years. The heritability estimated for Cholinesterase activity was strikingly lower. In unrelated individuals a positive correlation between arylesterase, Cholinesterase, and various lipoprotein parameters appeared to support the suggestion that these enzymes interact with various lipoproteins at the molecular level. The nature of these associations is not known. It is, however, tempting to speculate that some of the hereditary influence on lipoprotein levels in man may be mediated through the genetic control of one or both of these enzymes.

In spite of discovery of new antibiotics and regular progress in intensive care, mortality from severe bacterial sepsis remains high. In this review the importance of cellular and humoral immunity in the pathogenesis and the outcome of severe infection is delineated. Immunological evaluation of patients in Intensive Care Units should be performed almost routinely in order to detect "high risk" patients with acquired defect in host-defence mechanisms. For these patients in addition to nutritional care, passive or active immunotherapy will help to restore resistance to bacterial infection.
