Abstract

The relationships among hemoglobin, ferritin, and transferrin receptor levels and 2 markers of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease severity--HIV load and CD4(+) lymphocyte count--were characterized among 483 pregnant women in Malawi, Africa. The only significant correlation was an inverse correlation between hemoglobin level and plasma HIV load (r=-.104; P<.03). The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was not significantly different across quartiles of HIV load or CD4(+) lymphocyte count. In contrast to previous studies, these data suggest that iron status is not related to markers of HIV disease severity in pregnant women in Africa.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
