Abstract

Iron overload may promote the progression of HIV infection and AIDS. Excessive iron in the body may promote oxidation and impair the immune system. Researchers studied iron dynamics in 49 HIV patients with thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder, nine years after they tested positive for HIV. Thirty-one percent of patients with high serum ferritin levels, indicating substantial iron stores, progressed to stage IV infection, compared to 16% of those with lower ferritin levels. Desferrioxamine therapy slowed progression of the infection.
