Risk of pneumococcal bacteremia in Kenyan children with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

BMC Medicine, 2020
Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzyme deficiency state in humans. The clinical phenotype is variable and includes asymptomatic individuals, episodic hemolysis induced by oxidative stress, and chronic ...

G6PD deficiency and malaria selection [PDF]

Heredity, 2011
In his valuable review on genetics of malaria resistance, Hedrick (2011) tackles the interesting issue of the protection against Plasmodium falciparum afforded by G6PD deficiency. Specifically, he quotes data from a study (Ruwende et al., 1995) conducted in Gambia and in Kenya, from which it was claimed that the degree of protection was similar in ...
