Transfluthrin Poisoning Resulting in Intra Vascular Haemolysis and Methemoglobinemia in G6PD Deficiency-Treatment Challenge

Modelling primaquine-induced haemolysis in G6PD deficiency

The main adverse effect of primaquine is erythrocyte age and dose-dependent acute haemolytic anaemia in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd). As testing for G6PDd is often unavailable, this limits the use of primaquine for radical cure. A compartmental model of the dynamics of red blood c...
