ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) compromises the immune system, primarily affecting CD4+ T lymphocytes, and can progress to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) if not specifically treated.² Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV remains a major public health challenge, especially in vulnerable populations such as children. In these situations, which can be infected through vertical or horizontal transmission, several clinical complications arise, including hematological alterations such as anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, which reflect both the impact of the virus and the effect of therapies on the blood system. These dysfunctions are exacerbated by the action of HIV on the bone marrow and the use of medications such as zidovudine and lamivudine, which selectively inhibit HIV-1 and HIV-2. 2,3 Objective: Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand the hematological alterations that affect children who carry this virus.
