Background.
Anemia is one of the most commonly observed hematological abnormalities and an independent prognostic marker of HIV disease.
The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of anemia and associated factors among pediatric HIV/AIDS patients attending Zewditu Memorial Hospital (ZMH) ART Clinic in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among pediatric HIV/AIDS patients of Zewditu Memorial Hospital (ZMH) between August 05, 2013, and November 25, 2013.
A total of 180 children were selected consecutively.
Stool specimen was collected and processed.
A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics and associated risk factors.
Data were entered into EpiData 3.1.1.
and were analyzed using SPSS version 16 software.
Logistic regressions were applied to assess any association between explanatory factors and outcome variables.
Results.
The total prevalence of anemia was 22.2% where 21 (52.5%), 17 (42.5%), and 2 (5.0%) patients had mild, moderate, and severe anemia.
There was a significant increase in severity and prevalence of anemia in those with CD4+ T cell counts below 350 cells/μL (P<0.05).
Having intestinal parasitic infections (AOR = 2.7, 95% CI, 1.1–7.2), having lower CD4+ T cell count (AOR = 3.8, 95% CI, 1.6–9.4), and being HAART naïve (AOR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.6–9.4) were identified as significant predictors of anemia.
Conclusion.
Anemia was more prevalent and severe in patients with low CD4+ T cell counts, patients infected with intestinal parasites/helminthes, and HAART naïve patients.
Therefore, public health measures and regular follow-up are necessary to prevent anemia.
