To study the prevalence and severity of neutropenia in newly diagnosed HIV patients and their correlation with CD4 counts
Keywords:
prevalence, neutropenia, HIV, CD4 countsAbstract
Background: The incidence as well as the severity of haematological complications increases as the HIV disease progresses. Neutropenia usually occurs as HIV disease progresses and is an independent risk factor for bacterial infection in advanced HIV disease. Method: this observational study was carried out in Department of Medicine, J.L.N. Medical College and hospital, Ajmer. 100 patients were selected for study and were examined and underwent routine investigations. Results: In this study the frequency and severity of leucopenia increases with declining CD4 counts and has got significant impact on clinical outcome.
