ABSTRACT

Impaired hemostasis was studied in 50 adult patients with HIV infection. The blood coagulative potential, the number and functional activity of platelets were examined. Platelet aggregation and secretion were shown to change earlier than thrombocytopenia developed and clinical signs of HIV infection appeared. The disturbance in the plasma section of hemostasis are due to concurrent opportunistic diseases and infections.
