Massive acute haemolysis in neonates with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
Three neonates with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are described. All three patients suffered an episode of massive acute haemolysis, in the absence of blood group incompatibilities, infection, or ingestion of oxidising agents known to trigger haemolysis. One patient died, but the other two survived after an exchange transfusion. This highlights that G6PD deficiency in the ...

متن کاملAcute massive haemolysis in children with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
We report seven consecutive episodes of acute massive haemolysis accompanied by symptomatic anaemia and gross haemoglobinuria in six boys with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency seen in a regional hospital during a 12-year period. They presented at a mean age of 5.5 years (range, 1.5-11.3 years) with trough haemoglobin levels between 35 and 84 g/L. Two children developed transient ren...
متن کاملDrug-induced haemolysis in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
People with the variants of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) deficiency common in the southern Chinese (Canton, B(-)Chinese, and Hong Kong-Pokfulam) have a moderate shortening of red-cell survival but no anaemia when they are in the steady state. With a cross-transfusion technique, primaquine, nitrofurantoin, and large doses of aspirin were found to aggravate the haemolysis while sulpham...
متن کاملGlucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia
Background: Jaundice is affecting over 60-80 percent of neonates in the first week of life. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, which is an important cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, can lead to hemolytic anemia, jaundice and kernicterus. The present study was performed to determine the prevalence of G6PD deficiency among icteric neonates in Shirvan, Iran. Methods: This...
