Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Aims & Objectives -Establish care guidelines for HIV infected persion and altered haematopoiesis resulting in anaemia.Review the pathogenesis of the haematological manifestations of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).Identify the haematological manifestations (Peripheral smear) of altered haematopoiesis resulting from HIV infection. Material & Methods Blood was collected in a sterile EDTA containing tube and processed following our established laboratory protocol and by universal precaution as per the guideline of National aids control organization (NACO, India). A complete blood counting including HB%,PCV, Red cell indices ,platelet count and total white cell count and differential was done by Automated blood cell counter analyzer of all the patient on antiretroviral therapy .The all cell count indic es including WBC count with differential and platelet count, was further confirmed by manual oil immersion smear study method.Peripheral smears study was done with field A and B stain and leishman stain. Conclusion-Males are more affected than female, highest prevalence of HIV infection is found in both sex 30-41 years of age group. Anaemia is most common haematological parameters of HIV positive cases. Normocytic normochromic anaemia is most common type of anaemia because HIV is a chronic disease. Second most common finding is microcytic hypochromic anaemia in our study due to poor nutrition and viral effect on fe metabolism Third most common finding is macrocytic anaemia probably due to Zidovudine therapy. Normocytic normochromic anaemia is more common in male but microcytic hypochromic anaemia is more common in female and microcytic anaemia is near equal in both sex.
