EPH Interpretation
The beta globulins are increased and reflective of acute inflammation. Moderate
to marked increases in this fraction can be observed with nephritis, hepatitis,
dermatitis, and mycotic infection. Increases may also be observed with
sarcocystosis and chronic chlamydiosis as well as mycobacteriosis. Specific beta
globulin proteins are also increased in egg laying birds. Followup EPH may have
prognostic value in this case.
