“…In HIV patients in the HAART era, 9.2% of patients of CD4 < 200/mm 3 had low serum calcium compared with 0.5% of CD4 > 200/mm 3 (p < 0.002) [29]. In HIV-seropositive women (age 18-25 years), serum iron concentration was higher at low CD4 levels [1]. The present study confirmed the results about calcium levels, but not about iron levels.…”

“…Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages are infected by the human immune virus (HIV). HIV reduces the number and function of CD4 cells, alterations that impact both cell-mediated and humoral immunity [1]. The prevalence of HIV is rising worldwide because people on antiretroviral treatment are living longer.…”

Introduction: Alterations of vitamins and minerals have been seen in patients with the human immune virus (HIV) in numerous studies. This study aimed to evaluate serum levels of vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, iron, and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) in HIV-infected patients compared with controls in western Iran. Material and methods: Ninety-eight HIV-infected prisoners and 98 healthy controls were selected for the study in 2016. Cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) was checked in all HIV-infected patients. Age, sex, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, iron, and TIBC were checked for each person in both groups. Results: The mean age (range) of the HIV-infected and the healthy control groups was 40.11 years (21-68 years) and 45.59 (18-85 years), respectively. Vitamin D, calcium, iron and TIBC levels were significantly different in the two groups. There was a significant correlation between calcium and iron levels and the CD4 count. Conclusions: There were significant differences in vitamin D, calcium, iron, and TIBC levels in the HIV-infected patients compared to the healthy controls. Therefore, the results show the correlation between these levels and the incidence of HIV. In addition, the significant difference between calcium and iron levels with the CD4 counts can enhance the correlation.

“…HIV infects cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) Tlymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. As a result of this infection, the number and function of CD4 cells are reduced and both cell-mediated and humoral immunity are affected (1).

Background: Vitamin D insufficiency and HIV infection are both risk factors for chronic disorders. Several studies on small groups of male HIV-infected patients have reported alterations of calcium and bone metabolisms. This study aimed to evaluate serum levels of vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, iron, and TIBC in HIV-infected patients compared with controls in the west of Iran. Methods: In a case-control study approved by the Ethics Committee of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, 98 prisoners with HIV and 98 controls were selected in 2016. Age, sex, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were checked for all participants in both groups. Also, CD4 was checked in all HIV-infected patients. Results: The mean age ± SD (range) of HIV-infected and control groups was 40.11 ± 7.73 (21.68) and 45.59 ± 18.61 (18.85) years, respectively. Vitamin D, calcium, iron, and TIBC levels were significantly different in these two groups (P < 0.05). Vitamin D deficiency was higher in the HIV-infected group than that in the control group. Furthermore, calcium, iron and TIBC levels were higher in the HIV-infected group compared with those in the control group. Conclusions: This study showed that calcium, iron and TIBC levels were significantly higher in HIV-infected patients compared with those in the control group. Moreover, vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency were higher in HIV-infected patients. The patients with CD4 < 200 cells/mm 3 had less calcium and iron levels compared with 200-500 and > 500 cells/mm 3 .
