Abstract excerpt
Erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and pyruvate kinase (PK) activities were studied in hemoglobin H (HbH) patients by spectrophotometric method, cytochemical method and the methemoglobin reduction (MR) test for the detection of heterozygous G6PD deficiency. G6PD deficiency was f...
