[The hematological manifestations in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in children].

Abstract

The hematologic disorders that occur in HIV infected children are analysed by the authors, on the basis of some recent studies from current literature. There are emphasized the importance of the frequency of anemia, leukopenia and granulocytopenia. There are also stressed the pathogenic mechanisms of these disorders, their predictive significance and the rationale basis for therapeutics (actual and future treatment methods).
