ABSTRACT
Proper diagnosis and management of clinical diseases requires succinct understanding of
well-established human physiological reference values. Despite the high prevalence rates
of HIV, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis infection in Kisumu area of Western Kenya, there are
no locally developed hematological values that can be used as reference values of normal
biological or homeostatic processes from which pathogenic, pathologic or pharmacologic
responses to a therapeutic intervention can be inferred. This study enrolled 1566 study
participants (1509 healthy children for hematological reference range and 57 HIV positive,
anti-retroviral therapy naive adults for immunophenotypic and hepato-biomarker
characterization. Statistical analysis was done by graphpad by use of percentiles, Mann-
Whitney test, Spearman’s correlation and Kruskall Wallis. The results of the study showed
that it was possible to establish hematology reference ranges in children below two years
and based on gender. It was noted that the total white blood cell counts, monocyte and
granulocyte absolute counts in 1 m to 6 m age groups were statistically significantly lower
than the other two age groups (p
