Intravascular Hemolysis Due to Glucose‐6‐Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in a Patient with Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning
Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency are two commonly seen clinical presentations in Iran. However, hemolysis associated with Aluminium Phosphide poisoning is very rare. We report a case of concurrent Aluminium Phosphide poisoning and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in a 24 year old man presenting with intravascular hemolysis. Key words...
متن کاملFrequency of Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Neonatal Jaundice

Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) Department of Child Health, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from January 2008 to June 2008. A total number of 283 newborns, aged 1-14 days of either sex admitted with jaun...
متن کاملStudy of Glucose - 6 - Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency In Neonatal Jaundice
The enzyme, Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), deficiency leads to impaired production of reduced glutathione and predisposes the red cells to damage by oxidative metabolites, causing hemolysis. Deficient neonates may manifest clinically as hyperbilirubinemia or even kernicterus. Screening for G6PD deficiency and recognition of prevalence of the enzyme deficiency in individual communitie...
متن کاملErythrocyte glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and neonatal jaundice.
Four years data from Special Care Baby Unit revealed neonatal jaundice (NNJ) as the commonest cause of hospitalization (1944 cases of NNJ out of 6454 admitted neonates). Majority (47.5%) of babies with NNJ presented between 4-7 days of birth. One hundred and sixty infants with NNJ were positive for Glucose 6 Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, of whom 153 were males and 7 females. Eighty...
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...
