Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency presented with convulsion: a rare case
Red blood cells carry oxygen in the body and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase protects these cells from oxidative chemicals. If there is a lack of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase, red blood cells can go acute hemolysis.
