Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we determined the frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Cyprus using two different procedures in two separate adult population groups: a semiquantitative fluorescence test on blood spotted on filter paper and a quantitative spectrophotometric test on liquid blood. The frequency of G6PD deficiency among healthy adult males was found to be 5.1% using the...
