[Disorders in the plasma and cellular hemostatic components of patients with HIV infection].

Plasmic and platelet components of hemostasis were investigated in 100 HIV-infected subjects. Its degree depended on the infection stage and associated opportunistic infections. The key factor in pathogenesis of hemocoagulatory disorders is reduced count, abnormal function and morphology of platelets. A direct relationship exists between the number of CD4-lymphocytes, a decline in the number and functional activity of platelets. Intravenous injection of immunoglobulin made in Russia as an adjuvant to combined therapy of HIV-infected subjects contributes to recovery of platelet count and aggregation.
