Overview
G6PD deficiency was first discovered more than 50 years ago. Prisoner volunteers were given primaquine and some of them developed hemolytic anemia
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- G6PD deficiency was first discovered more than 50 years ago.[1]
- The association between primaquine and discovery of G6PD deficiency was made during a study at Illinois State Penitentiary. Prisoner volunteers were given primaquine and some of them developed hemolytic anemia.[2]
- Numerous soldiers developed hemolytic anemia after taking primaquine to prevent relapsing infection by plasmodium vivax during Korean War. Most of them are from North African and Mediterranean.
