Abstract

BACKGROUND

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is connected with a wide range of haematological abnormalities. The use of antiretroviral drugs can have positive or negative changes in the haematological parameters. This study aimed to determine red cell indices and a reticulocyte count of HIV- patients taking antiretroviral treatment and those not yet been placed under antiretroviral treatment.
