TLDR
Diagnosis of malaria among HIV patients on HAART is advocated and age, gender, type of occupation, clinical manifestations, anemia, and CD4+ T-cell count <200 cells/μL affected the prevalence of malarial infection in this study.Abstract:
Background: Malaria and HIV diseases kill millions of people yearly, and they are the scourges of developing nations. This study was conducted to determine the coinfections of malaria and HIV, and the effect of demographic characters on HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Kogi State, Nigeria. Methods: Five hundred and eleven participants consisting of 411 (51 males and 360 females) HIV-infected patients on HAART and 100 (8 males and 92 females) apparently healthy HIV-noninfected individuals who served as controls were enrolled in this study. Blood sample was collected from each participant and malaria was diagnosed using the standard procedure. Results: An overall prevalence of 7.8% and 2% of malarial infection was observed in HIV-infected patients on HAART and non-HIV participants, respectively. The prevalence of malaria among HIV patients on HAART differed signifi cantly (P Conclusion: Diagnosis of malaria among HIV patients on HAART is advocated.read more

TL;DR: In routine malaria diagnosis, MPDC determination with respect to changes in some hematological parameters should be considered in ART programs for improved patient management.

TL;DR: The diagnosis of anemia is an important aspect of the practice of hematology and unless earlier blood counts are available, the physician must make his or her decision on the basis of the population distribution of hemoglobin values.

TL;DR: HIV-1 infection is associated with an increased frequency of clinical malaria and parasitaemia, and this association tends to become more pronounced with advancing immunosuppression, and could have important public-health implications for sub-Saharan Africa.
