The acute phase response (APR) to infection can alter blood-based indicators of micronutrient status. Data from a 3-mo randomized, controlled feeding trial in rural Zambian children (n = 181, aged 3-5 y) were used to determine the impact of the APR on indicators of vitamin A and iron status using baseline and final blood samples. Concentrations of acute phase proteins were categorized as raised C-reactive protein (CRP; >5 and >10 mg/L) only, both raised CRP and alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP; >1.2 g/L), raised AGP only, and neither CRP nor AGP raised to identify the respective stages of infection: incubation, early convalescence, convalescence, and healthy state. Data were insufficient to examine the incubation stage of infection. A CRP concentration of >5 mg/L was an effective elevation cutoff point in this population to show impact on micronutrient markers. Time did not affect hemoglobin, serum ferritin, or serum retinol concentrations (P > 0.05). During early convalescence, hemoglobin decreased (14-16%; P
