Abstract

Background and objective: Hematological abnormalities are among the most common manifestations of advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The prevalence of ANEMIA in HIV disease varies considerably, ranging from 1.3% to 95%. Some studies showed that ANEMIA was associated with CD4+ cell count below 50/microL, female sex, black race, a viral load above 100,000 copies/mL, zidovudine use, and older age. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ANEMIA and associated factors in HN infected patients.Material and methods: 143 (123 male and 19 female) HIV positive patients enrolled in this study. Mean age of our patients were 37.1±2. In this cross-sectional study, 143 HN positive patients who referring to behavioral disease consulting center in Tehran, Shemiranat, North of Tehran and AIDS research center, were screened for ANEMIA from may 2004 to February 2007. We tested hemoglobin in all of the patients. CD4 counting was also done by flow cytometry. We defined mild to moderate ANEMIA as hemoglobin 8 to 12 g/dL in female and 8-14 in male. Severe ANEMIA was defined as hemoglobin less than 8 g/dL.Results: The CD4 lymphocytes were between 30 and 1413.5 (mean 394.5±229.2 cells/mm3). Mean of hemoglobin was 13.5±2.1 g/dl (minimum 8.1 and maximum 19.9). We observed mild to moderate ANEMIA in 46% and severe ANEMIA in 0%. There was not any significant difference between patients with and without ANEMIA, regarding age, sex, stage of the infection, CD4 count, concurrent anti-retroviral therapy, but risk behaviors for HIV acquisition was associated to ANEMIA(p<0.05).Conclusion: Mild to moderate ANEMIA was common problem in HIV positive patients but severe ANEMIA was less prevalent in this study population.
