Nigeria is highly burdened by malaria and HIV-infection, yet researchers know little about the impact of this co-infection on the haematological profile of HIV-infected adult Nigerians. This case control study is an attempt to investigate the effect that HIV/malaria co-infection has on some haematological parameters of HIV-infected Nigerians.
