Popis: Summary Between May, 1994 and May, 1995 serum ferritin concentrations were measured in 74 pregnant women who were HIV-1 positive (17 with CD4 cell counts below 200 cells/uL) and in 148 HIV-1 negative pregnant controls in first trimester of gestation to determine if a high level of serum ferritin is present in pregnant women with HIV-1 infection. Comparisons were made between groups stratified by CD4 cell counts. Pregnant women with HIV-1 infection had 92% higher mean serum ferritin levels (112.8 versus 58.8 ug/L, p
