 AB    Hematological abnormalities, characterized by cytopenias, are a problem
       commonly encountered by persons with HIV or AIDS. Cytopenias can be
       multifactorial in their causation and potentially life threatening to
       this population. An understanding of the various causes of these
       cytopenias and the appropriate nursing care are tantamount to nursing
       practice and to ensure quality of life. Goals of medical and nursing
       care are directed at assessment, interventions, and patient education to
       prevent or minimize the complications of hematological abnormalities.
       This article reviews current knowledge regarding the causes,
       pathophysiology, treatments, and nursing care of HIV/AIDS-related
       hematological abnormalities.
