ASSESSMENT OF SOME HAEMATOLOGIC AND IMMUNOLOGIC PARAMETERS AMONG HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS PATIENTS ON ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY IN ABA
Abstract
Haematologic and immunologic abnormalities are strong predictors of morbidity and mortality in
HIV infections. However, with antiretroviral therapy, life expectancy is prolonged in patients
infected by the virus. This study determined the haematologic and immunologic parameters
among HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy. A total of 150 subjects; 50 HIV patients on ART,
50 HIV patients not on ART, and 50 negative subjects, were recruited for the study. Ethical
approval for the study was obtained from the ethics committee in ABSUTH as well as informed
consent of the participants.
