Prevalence of Glucose-6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Malaria Coinfection and their Association with Anaemia in Children in Douala, Cameroon
Key Points
Anaemia prevalence is significantly associated with glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and malaria coinfection.
Coinfection with malaria alongside glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency increases the risk of developing anaemia in affected children.
This observational analysis included diverse cases of children in Douala, measuring their health outcomes related to the infection.
Highlighting the need for targeted interventions, the findings suggest the importance of monitoring glucose-6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency to manage anaemia risks.
