Thrombocytopenia is a common disorder of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. The magnitude of thrombocytopenia and associated factors among HIV-infected patients receiving ART (anti-retroviral treatment) are not studied well in this study area. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of thrombocytopenia and associated factors in pre- and post-ART patients who attended Debre Berhan Referral Hospital (DBRH) in North-East Ethiopia.
