Abstract
Abstract Background This study’s objective was to investigate the predictors for severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia when amphotericin B deoxycholate-based induction therapy is used in HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis. Methods A total of 170 HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis were enrolled from January 1st, 2019, to September 30th, 2020. Results Approximately 42.9%, 20.6%, and 10.6% of the enrolled patients developed severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia, respectively. Baseline hemoglobin level 73.4 µmol/L (OR = 2.573, 95% CI: 1.157 ~ 5.723), AST/ALT ratio > 1.6 (OR = 2.479, 95% CI: 1.167 ~ 5.266), sodium level ≤ 136 mmol/liter (OR = 4.342, 95% CI: 1.747 ~ 10.789), and a dose of amphotericin B deoxycholate > 0.58 mg/kg/d (OR = 2.504, 95% CI:1.066 ~ 5.882) were observed to be independent risk factors associated with the development of severe anemia. Co-infection with tuberculosis (OR = 3.307, 95% CI: 1.050 ~ 10.420), and platelet level (per 10 × 109 /L) (OR = 0.952, 95% CI: 0.911 ~ 0.996) were shown to be independent risk factors associated with the development of severe leukopenia. Platelet level
