pubmed:abstractText |
Between 1986 and 1990, 107,397 National Servicemen between the ages of 17 to 18 years were screened on enlistment for Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme activity by fluorescent spot test. The overall prevalence rate was 1.6% with ethnic differences as follows: 1.62% for Chinese, 1.80% for Malay, 0.76% for Indian and 0.68% for other races. The majority had no prior knowledge of their G6PD deficiency status (89.9%), or of any significant haemolytic episode (93.3%). The rest gave a history of neonatal jaundice, non-neonatal jaundice, anaemia and haemoglobinuria. Maloprim, fava beans, sulphur drugs and aspirin were cited as triggering factors.
