Abstract
To study anemia in AIDS patients and its relation with socioeconomic, employment status and educational levels.
A total number of 442 patients who visited the Infectious Diseases University Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina were included in the study. Patients were dividied into two groups,
Anemia was found in 228 patients (54%). Comparing patients with or without anemia, a statistically significant difference was found (
The high prevalence of anemia found in poor patients with AIDS suggests that poverty increases the risk to suffer from this hematological complication. The relationship between economic development policies and AIDS is complex. Our results seem to point to the fact that AIDS epidemic may affect economic development and in turn be affected by it. If we consider that AIDS affects the economically active adult population, despite recent medical progress it usually brings about fatal consequences, especially within the poorest sectors of society where the disease reduces the average life expectancy, increases health care demand and tends to exacerbate poverty and iniquity.

<p>A total number of 442 patients who visited the Infectious Diseases University Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina were included in the study. Patients were dividied into two groups, <italic>i.e.</italic>

<p>Anemia was found in 228 patients (54%). Comparing patients with or without anemia, a statistically significant difference was found (<italic>P</italic>

<p>The high prevalence of anemia found in poor patients with AIDS suggests that poverty increases the risk to suffer from this hematological complication.
