Abstract
Data about glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency are not available in Brazil, a country characterized by a great mix of races. The disease is associated with ethnic groups. High prevalence (5 to 25%) has been reported in Africa, Asia, Middle East and the Mediterranean. We present here the first report of our one year experience testing for G6PD in an unselected population in the south of Brazil.
