Although haematological abnormalities are common manifestations of HIV infection, few studies on haematological parameters in HIV-infected persons have been undertaken in sub-Saharan Africa. The authors assessed factors associated with haematological parameters in HIV-infected antiretroviral-naïve and HIV-uninfected Rwandan women.
Cross-sectional analysis of a longitudinal cohort.
Community-based women's associations.
710 HIV-infected (HIV+) antiretroviral-naïve and 226 HIV-uninfected (HIV-) women from the Rwanda Women's Interassociation Study Assessment. Haematological parameters categorised as (abnormal vs normal) were compared by HIV status and among HIV+ women by CD4 count category using proportions. Multivariate logistic regression models using forward selection were fit.
Prevalence of anaemia (haemoglobin (Hb) <12.0 g/dl) was higher in the HIV+ group (20.5% vs 6.3%; p<0.001), and increased with lower CD4 counts: ≥350 (7.6%), 200-349 (16%) and <200 cells/mm(3) (32.2%). Marked anaemia (Hb <10.0 g/dl) was found in 4.2% of HIV+ and none of the HIV- women (p<0.001), and was highest in HIV+ women with CD4 <200 cells/mm(3) (8.4%). The HIV+ were more likely than HIV- women (4.2 vs 0.5%, respectively, p=0.002) to have moderate neutropenia with white blood cells <2.0×10(3) cells/mm(3) and 8.4% of HIV+ women with CD4 <200 cells/mm(3) had moderate neutropenia. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, BMI (OR 0.87/kg/m(2), 95% CI 0.82 to 0.93; p<0.001), CD4 200-350 vs HIV- (OR 3.59, 95% CI 1.89 to 6.83; p<0.001) and CD4 <200 cells/mm(3) vs HIV- (OR 8.09, 95% CI 4.37 to 14.97; <0.001) had large independent associations with anaemia. There were large independent associations of CD4 <200 cells/mm(3) vs HIV- (OR 7.18, 95% CI 0.78 to 65.82; p=0.081) and co-trimoxazole and/or dapsone use (OR 5.69, 95% CI 0.63 to 51.45; p=0.122) with moderate neutropenia.
Anaemia was more common than neutropenia or thrombocytopenia in the HIV-infected Rwandan women. Future comparisons of haematological parameters in HIV-infected patients before and after antiretroviral therapy initiation are warranted.
尽管血液学异常是 HIV 感染的常见表现,但在撒哈拉以南非洲地区,针对 HIV 感染者血液学参数的研究较少。作者评估了与 HIV 感染的未接受抗逆转录病毒治疗的 HIV 阳性和未感染 HIV 的卢旺达妇女的血液学参数相关的因素。
纵向队列的横断面分析。
基于社区的妇女协会。
710 名 HIV 感染(HIV +)未经抗逆转录病毒治疗的和 226 名 HIV 未感染(HIV -)的卢旺达妇女,来自卢旺达妇女协会评估研究。使用比例比较了 HIV 状态和 HIV + 女性中 CD4 计数分类的血液学参数(异常与正常)。使用正向选择拟合多变量逻辑回归模型。
贫血(血红蛋白(Hb)<12.0 g/dl)在 HIV + 组中的发生率更高(20.5% vs 6.3%;p<0.001),并且随着 CD4 计数的降低而增加:≥350(7.6%),200-349(16%)和<200 个细胞/mm(3)(32.2%)。在 4.2%的 HIV + 女性中发现了明显的贫血(Hb <10.0 g/dl),而在 HIV - 女性中则没有(p<0.001),并且在 CD4 <200 个细胞/mm(3)的 HIV + 女性中最高(8.4%)。与 HIV - 女性相比(分别为 4.2%对 0.5%,p=0.002),HIV + 女性更有可能出现白细胞<2.0×10(3)细胞/mm(3)的中度中性粒细胞减少症,并且 8.4%的 CD4 <200 个细胞/mm(3)的 HIV + 女性有中度中性粒细胞减少症。在多变量逻辑回归分析中,BMI(OR 0.87/kg/m(2),95%CI 0.82 至 0.93;p<0.001),CD4 200-350 与 HIV-(OR 3.59,95%CI 1.89 至 6.83;p<0.001)和 CD4 <200 个细胞/mm(3)与 HIV-(OR 8.09,95%CI 4.37 至 14.97;p<0.001)与贫血有很大的独立关联。CD4 <200 个细胞/mm(3)与 HIV-(OR 7.18,95%CI 0.78 至 65.82;p=0.081)和使用复方新诺明和/或氨苯砜(OR 5.69,95%CI 0.63 至 51.45;p=0.122)与中度中性粒细胞减少症有很大的独立关联。
贫血在卢旺达 HIV 感染女性中比中性粒细胞减少症或血小板减少症更为常见。有必要对接受抗逆转录病毒治疗前后的 HIV 感染患者的血液学参数进行未来比较。
