Abstract:
Anemia and thrombocytopenia are frequent hema-
tological abnormalities in patients with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) infection and have been
associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
However, there is a paucity of data on the prevalence
and correlates of these hematological abnormalities
among HIV infected adults in Ethiopia. The aim of
this study was to determine the prevalence and cor-
relates of anemia and thrombocytopenia in a cohort
of HIV-1 infected adults in northwest Ethiopia.
