Determining hematological, biochemical and immunological reference values in healthy adults with high-risk for HIV acquisition in Mozambique

ABSTRACT

n many African countries, laboratory reference values are not established for the local healthy adult population. In Mozambique, reference values are known for young adults (18- 24yo) but not yet established for a wider age range. Our study aimed to establish hematological, biochemical and immunological reference values for vaccine trials in Mozambican healthy adults with high-risk for HIV acquisition.
