Prevalence of G6PD Deficiency and Distribution of Its Genetic Variants Among Malaria-Suspected Patients Visiting Metehara Health Center, Eastern Ethiopia

2022-01-21

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is cytosolic enzyme which has a vital role for the integrity and functioning of red blood cells. Lower activity of this enzyme leads to the occurrence of acute hemolytic anemia after exposure to oxidative stressors like primaquine. Primaquine is an important drug for the radical cure of <italic>plasmodium vivax</italic> and blocking t...
