Is glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency more prevalent in Carrion’s disease endemic areas in Latin America?
Publication date: Available online 14 November 2015 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine Author(s): Fernando Mazulis, Claudia Weilg, Carlos Alva-Urcia, Maria J. Pons, Juana del Valle Mendoza Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a cytoplasmic enzyme with an important function in cell oxidative damage prevention. Erythrocytes have a predisposition towards oxidized environments due to their lack of mitochondria, giving G6PD a major role in its stability. G6PD deficiency (G6PDd) is the most common enzyme deficiency in humans; it affects approximately 400 million individuals worldwide. The overall G6P...

Pancreatitis is a rare complication of malaria with only a few reported cases. Herein, we describe a case of acute pancreatitis with multiorgan failure due to Plasmodium falciparum managed successfully with antimalarials and conservative treatment. We also perform a systematic review of literature for reports of acute pancreatitis due to Plasmodium infection.
