“…Em gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, o uso da zidovudina é um risco em potencial para o desencadeamento da anemia materna 10 . A baixa contagem de linfócitos T CD4 está associada à anemia em gestantes infectadas pelo HIV 18 . Neste estudo, 12,9% das mulheres apresentaram contagens de células CD4 menores que 200 células/mm 3 .…”

Data de recebimento do artigo: 01/05/2014 Data de aceite do artigo: 05/01/2015 Introdução: É importante identificar características de gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, para elaborar ações de melhoria da assistência a essas mulheres. Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar as gestantes infectadas pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV), atendidas em ambulatório de moléstias infectocontagiosas em obstetrícia, no município de Ribeirão Preto (SP). Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado um estudo do tipo corte transversal, no período de 2010 a 2012, utilizando dados secundários de prontuários médicos. Resultados: Foram incluídas 113 gestantes infectadas pelo HIV, com média de idade de 28,9 anos, maioria branca (62,8%), casada ou amasiada (71,7%), e a escolaridade de 31,9% variava entre 9 e 11 anos. Observou-se diagnóstico da infecção pelo HIV durante exames de pré-natal da maioria das mulheres, início tardio do pré-natal e maioria assintomática. A intercorrência mais comum durante a gravidez foi anemia. 60% das gestantes tiveram boa adesão ao uso de terapia antirretroviral, enquanto 58,7% delas apresentou carga viral indetectável, próximo à 34ª semana de gestação. 29,8% apresentaram carga viral acima de 1.000 cópias/mL. O parto de 82,5% das mulheres foi realizado com idade gestacional acima de 37 semanas; o tipo de parto em 51% foi cesárea. Conclusões: os resultados mostraram que houve predomínio de gestantes infectadas pelo HIV na faixa etária de 25 a 34 anos, assintomáticas e com diagnóstico de infecção pelo vírus devido a exames de pré-natal.

“…9,10 Global cause-specific analysis have tended to focus only on tracking iron deficiency or on single country or region. [11][12][13][14] In view of magnitude and consequences of severe anemia, this study was planned with the aim to identify the significant socio-economic, demographic risk factors and etiology of severe anemia in Indian children of 6-59 months age by means of statistical modeling.…”

Anemia is a major global health problem, especially in developing countries. This problem is largely preventable & easily treatable. In India prevalence is approximately 51%. The NFHS 2005-2006 revealed that at least 80% of Indian children aged 12-23 months are anemic. Most children with anemia are asymptomatic and have abnormal Hb or hematocrit level on routine screening. Anemia in infancy and early childhood is associated with behavioral and cognitive delays, and lower scores on test of mental and motor development. Aims & Objectives : To study clinical profile and factors associated with severe anemia. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Pt. B.D.S. PGIMS, Rohtak. The patients of age group 6 months to 59 months having severe anemia (Hb <7 gm/dl) were taken as subjects.Results: Out of 100 patients 51 belonged to iron def anemia (51%), 15 belongsed to megaloblastic anemia (15%). The mean hemoglobin was 5.22 that ranged from 2 to 7 gm//dl with standard deviation of 1.389. mean MCV was 76, whereas MCH, MCHC were 20 and 26 respectively. Most of anemic children belonged to grade 3 and 4 degree of malnutrition (76%). Conclusions: Prevalence of anemia in children admitted at PGIMS was high. Characteristics strongly associated with severe anemia included unemployment among caregivers and malnutrition. Iron deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia were the common types.

“…[9][10][11][12] These adverse pregnancy outcomes have been associated with low CD4þ counts, specific maternal infections, tuberculosis, malaria and opportunistic infections. 13,14 Measures to improve pregnancy outcomes include treatment with antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, multi-nutrient supplementation, vitamin A supplementation and intermittent preventive therapy for malaria in endemic areas. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Vitamin A supplementation in studies has not been shown to produce better outcomes in HIV positive women.…”

Abstract: Anaemia was found to be high at 42.5 % among the HIV positive women studied and was found to be independently associated with short inter birth interval, presence of OIs, advanced HIV disease and use of zidovudine containing HAART regimen.
