Immunological Factors and Macronutrient Content in Human Milk From Women With Subclinical Mastitis
Increased immunological substances and protein concentrations in human milk are similar to those observed in clinical mastitis, indicating an inflammatory response in the body, even in asymptomatic individuals. Immunological substances and proteins are beneficial for preterm infants. Therefore, human milk from mothers with subclinical mastitis is suitable for use by milk banks.
