Primaquine-induced severe hemolysis in the absence of concomitant malaria: effects on g6pd activity and renal function

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Am. J. Trop. Med. and colleagues from the Menzies School Darwin University, Bangkok, Thailand have published the paper: Primaquine-induced Severe Hemolysis in the Absence of Concomitant Malaria: Effects on G6PD Activity and Renal Function, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors show that regularly dosed paracetamol given for its putative renoprotective effect is safe in the context of severe oxidative hemolysis.

SUMMARY

Primaquine prevents relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria but can cause severe hemolysis in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The authors describe a case of . . .
