From the TommyK posts, i've learned that certain drugs (sulfas, quinines, etc) should not be given to G6PD patients. So i'm curious-how would you treat a G6PD patient that has malaria? Pls help!

That is a very good question.

Maybe monitoring the anemia in the mean time they get the medication, wait wait I know theres a drug you can give but I just forgot.


sorry

I think does patient are proof for malaria because the parasite will die with the red blood cell, so they will have a protective effect.

This is not 100% this is from top of my head.

I think it's they are less likely to get malaria, but i don't really think that they are 100% proof. Anyways, thanks for trying to help!
