BMC: Journal of Biomedical Science, 11/19/09
Obirikorang C et al. - Anaemia in People Living with HIV/AIDS, if persistent, is associated with substantially decreased survival. Haemoglobin levels could be measured easily where resources for more sophisticated laboratory markers such as viral load or even CD4 lymphocyte count are not available given that measurement of the CD4 lymphocyte count requires flow cytometry, an expensive technique unavailable in many developing countries. Regular measurements could help to determine which patients are at greatest risk of disease progression, allowing these patients to be identified for closer monitoring or therapeutic intervention.
