Clinical Spectrum of Primaquine-induced Hemolysis in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency: A 9-Year Hospitalization-based Study from the Brazilian Amazon

Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 69, No. 8, Year 2019

Despite glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency prevalence of 5% in the Amazon, primaquine is administered without G6PD screening. This is an important cause of hospitalization among Plasmodium vivax-infected individuals, leading to life-threatening anemia and acute renal failure across endemic areas. In Manaus, the frequency of primaquine-induced hemolysis was 85.2 cases per 100 000 primaquine users.
