Genetic analysis and molecular basis of G6PD deficiency among malaria patients in Thailand: implications for safe use of 8-aminoquinolines
2 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It was hypothesized that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency confers a protective effect against malaria infection, however, safety concerns have been raised regarding haemolytic toxicity caused by radical cure with 8-aminoquinolines in G6PD-deficient individuals. Malaria elimination and control are also complicated by the high prevalence of G6PD deficiency in malaria-endemic areas....
