Abstract
Aims of the Study: To study the incidence of anaemia in patient taking anti retro viral therapy. Methods and Material: Three hundred cases of people living with HIV were studied and compared with data from literature. Results: All the three hundred [n=300] cases of people living with HIV, initiated on anti retro viral therapy were admitted cases. Out of those two hundred cases seventy three [n=73] cases had anaemia. Among those seventy three cases forty three [n=43] were females and thirty [n=30] cases were males. Macrocytic anaemia was present in forty two [n=42] cases. All the patients were treated with zidovudine based regimen. In our study CD4 count was less than 200 in twenty eight [n=28] cases. Breathlessnes and anorexia were common symptoms. Pallor was commonest sign. Conclusion: Macrocytic normochromic anaemia is most common among the cases with zidovudine based anti retro viral regimen.
