G6PD deficiency as protection againstfalciparum malaria: An epidemiologic critique of population and experimental studies

1993-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Several recent reviews in the medical literature maintain that only heterozygous G6PD deficient females are relatively protected against falciparum malaria. However, a number of population studies provide compelling evidence that both the hemizygous G6PD deficient male and homozygous G6PD deficient female are also relatively protected against falciparum parasitization. An epidemiologic critique of a sample of thes...
