摘要：One of the most common manifestations in HIV infected patients are hematological. Few studies on these manifestations have been conducted in Romania and worldwide. Anemia and infections occur frequently among people living with HIV and reflect the immune suppression of the host. Besides, the etiology of anemia in HIV infection often remains unclear. Therefore, C Reactive Protein (CRP) and fibrinogen can be used as markers of the degree of immune suppression. It is noteworthy that anti-anemic therapies may accelerate the progression of HIV disease. Primary infection or reactivation of known or unknown pathogens is still a major concern associated with blood transfusions and possibly lead to a reduced prognosis. Existing data suggest that severe anemia is one of the main factors. Chronic inflammation and increased hemostasis in HIV-infected persons are thought to be a consequence of viral replication or persistence and it is associated with poor prognostic in HIV-infected patients. Whether low levels of viremia predispose to increased inflammation is unclear. We investigated the relationship between anemia, inflammatory markers, and blood transfusions. The present study is an effort to evaluate correlation as well as the association between inflammatory markers and blood products administration in HIV/AIDS patients.
