Haematological abnormalities in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease.

C Costello 1
PMCID: PMC1141573  PMID: 3045157

Abstract

Peripheral blood and bone marrow changes are commonly seen in disease associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This annotation aims to summarise these changes and to suggest possible factors entailed in their occurrence.
