Abstract
Cytopenias are the most common HIV-associated
hematological abnormality. Cytopenias become more prevalent
as HIV progresses and are often fatal. Sex, race, geographical
location and comorbidities such as tuberculosis have been associated
with cytopenias. Data from resource-limited settings
about the prevalence, correlates and trends in cytopenia are
limited. This analysis assessed the prevalence and correlates of
cytopenia at initiation of HAART and the trend in cytopenias
among HAART-treated AIDS patients in Uganda.
