Prevalence of Leucopenia and Associated Factors before and after Initiation of ART among HIV-Infected Patients, North East Ethiopia: Cross-Sectional Study.

In this study, the prevalence of leucopenia, neutropenia, and lymphopenia has shown a significant decrement after the initiation of ART. HIV patients with low CD4 count and on an AZT-based regimen are more likely to have leucopenia, neutropenia, and lymphopenia. Based on our findings, we recommend that the health care professional routinely investigate and should treat leucopenia.
