Haematological Profile In HIV Infected Patients With Comparison To CD4 Count

Background:To study various hematological parameters in HIV positive patients, to determine CD4+T lymphocyte counts in HIV positivepatients, to compare hematological parameters in patients onART.Material And Methods:Hematological profile was done using HORIBA PENTRA XLR Hematology Analyzer and slides stained in Field stains & Leishmanstain with CD4 Count was done using Partex Flow Cytometer. Result:Most commonly 54% cases are presented with Anaemia Followed by 11% cases with leukocytosis and 5% cases with thrombocytopenia. In anemias commonest is hypochromic microcyticanaemiaseen in 61% ofanaemiacases, followed by 37% patients with normochromic normocytic anemia. Conclusion:Anemiais the most common abnormality followed by leukocytosis followed by thrombocytopenia and leucopenia.
