Laboratory tests carried out included haemoglobin levels, haemoglobin electrophoresis, blood film examination, blood culture, urinalysis, microscopy, and other relevant tests.ResultsOne hundred and forty subjects out of the 1450 patients admitted during the period of study had severe anaemia giving a ...
Severe anaemia can blight the lives of people with kidney disease. While effective treatment is available, its provision is patchy across the country. It has been found that: In people with renal anaemia, haemoglobin can fall to 4g/dl. Injections ofSevere anaemia can blight the lives of ...
Malaria and HIV co-infection and their effect on haemoglobin levels from three healthcare institutions in Lagos, southwest Nigeria BACKGROUND: and () are two major with enormous public health consequence. Together, they are endemic in many developing countries with being the most frequ... Sanyaol...

severe anaemia (and, thus, the threshold haemoglobin or haematocrit level at which transfusion is recommended), some defining severe anaemia as Hb <5 g/dl whereas others use Hb <6 g/dl. For research definitions, severe malarial anaemia is defined as Hb <5 g/dl in recent guidelines (with ...
Likewise, haemoglobin level < 13 g/dl, neutrophil counts < 2,500 cells/mm3 and platelet counts < 175,000 cells/mm3 were independent predictors of severe anaemia, neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Zidovudine treatment, cirrhosis, baseline low body weight, use of PEG-IFN-...
Severe disease manifestations vary in presentation according to transmission intensity and include cerebral malaria, metabolic acidosis, respiratory distress, and severe malarial anaemia (SMA) [2], defined as haemoglobin (Hb) < 5.0 g/dL with parasitaemia, is the most common severe malaria ...
Anaemia is also very common in pregnant women and is often multifactorial [41]. Pregnant women who are already anaemic may have a further reduction in haemoglobin when infected with malaria, and thereby meet the severe anaemia criterion for severe malaria. Malaria itself can cumulatively increase ...
Significant positive correlation was detected between IFN-γ and haemoglobin and the lowest mean IFN-γ level was found in those with severe anaemia. Conclusions: Old age, UM and CM were associated with high IFN-γ levels. The high IFN-γ level associated with higher haemoglobin concentration ...
the infection was effectively controlled. The patient’s initial selection of antibiotics was not sensitive to MRCNS, and the patient had a poor basic condition, poor nutritional status, hypoproteinemia, electrolyte disorder, and mild anaemia. Tis might be an important re...
