As a result, routine examination of blood disorders among HIV patients is necessary to minimize related complications and improve patients' prognosis. Therefore, the aim of the current study is also to assess quantitative and qualitative blood cell disorders among high\u2010level antiretroviral therapy (HAART)\u2010experienced children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among 213 HIV\u2010infected children from June to July 2021. For laboratory analysis, about 5\u2009mL of venous blood was collected and transferred to an EDTA test tube for a complete blood cell count. Besides, the shape, size, color, distribution, cytoplasmic inclusions of red blood cells (RBCs), and structures of other major cell lines were meticulously evaluated using a stained blood smear preparation. The data were entered into EPI\u2010Info version 3.5.3 and then transferred to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Descriptive statistics were summarized as percentages, means, and standard deviations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>RBC abnormalities, such as poikilocytosis and anisocytosis, were observed in 54.4% and 26.3% of patients, respectively. Additionally, microcytosis, giant cells, and target cells were observed in 20.7%, 12.7%, and 23% of patients, respectively. In this study, the most common quantitative RBC abnormality was anemia, occurring in 35 (16.4%) of patients. Regarding white blood cell abnormalities, leukopenia and lymphopenia were detected among 12.2% and 10.3% of study participants, respectively. However, only 1.9% of the patients had a quantitative platelet disorder.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Various quantitative and qualitative blood disorders were observed in HAART\u2010experienced HIV patients.
