IDENTIFY THE HAEMATOLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS (PERIPHERAL SMEAR) OF ALTERED HAEMATOPOIESIS RESULTING FROM HIV INFECTION.

Abstract

Background &Method: The present study is done with an aim to Identify the haematological manifestations (Peripheral smear) of altered haematopoiesis resulting from HIV infection, being undertaken in the department of pathology of Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, M.P. HIV positive patients & susceptible family members & diagnosed in microbiology Dept. All the 200 patients were screened by ELISA technique & diagnosed by western blot.

Result: Anaemia is most commonly affected hematological parameter with 70 cases (35%, n=200) while eosinophilia is least common cases 24 (12%, n=200). Chi-sq. test X2 Value = 1.46 [DF = 1] 2-sided P = 0.391 & trend in a given direction:  P = 0.119. Chi-sq. test X2 Value =0.381 [DF = 1] 2-sided P = 0.38 & trend in a given direction:   P = 0.675

Conclusion: Anaemia is most normal hematological boundaries of HIV positive cases. Normocytic normochromic frailty is most normal sort of sickliness in light of the fact that HIV is a persistent illness. Second most normal finding is microcytic hypochromic paleness in our concentrate because of helpless nourishment & viral impact on fe digestion Third most normal finding is macrocytic pallor likely because of Zidovudine treatment.
