HIV INFECTION PRESENTING AS APLASTIC ANEMIA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 22
Abstract
Disorders of the hematopoietic system including lymphadenopathy, anemia, leukopenia, and/or thrombocytopenia are common throughout the course of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and may be the direct result of HIV infection, manifestations of opportunistic infections and neoplasms, or side effects of therapy. However aplastic anemia due to HIV infection is very rare. Though anemia is seen with advanced disease and associated with poor prognosis, it is treated with various therapeutic modalities. Our patient with HIV infection had bone marrow documented aplastic anemia and responded very well to antiretroviral therapy.
