- Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymopathy and is inherited as an X-linked trait, therefore homozygotic females are rare. We present a five-year-old girl, who had severe hemolytic anemia after fava beans ingestion and an infectious insult. Investigations revealed G6PD deficiency associated with a genetic A-variant, which was also present in both her father and brother.
