Leukocyte Maturation: G-6-PD Activity and NBT Dye Reduction

Is the G-6-PD activity assay more cost effective than the methaemoglobin reduction test in screening for G-6-PD deficiency

No power calculations were conducted to determine the sample size. The authors justified the patient sample on the basis of the prevalence of G-6-PD deficiency in Thailand. Umbilical cord blood samples were randomly taken from neonates in the hospital's delivery room. Peripheral blood samples were taken from 229 infants with hyperbilirubinaemia (140 males and 89 females). Cord blood samples wer...

On the relation between malaria and G-6-PD deficiency.

SUMMARY On the basis of the hypothesis that in the regions where favism is present a high correlation exists between endemic malaria and the frequency of G-6-PD deficiency, Huheey and Martin (1975) in a recent paper suggest that the haemolytic event in a malarial environment is a favourable selective factor. Therefore, the fitness of the G-6-PD-deficient individual who shows haemolysis is highe...
