“…The main cause of neonatal jaundice in G6PD-deficient infants is the inability of the liver to conjugate bilirubin properly, thereby exacerbating the bilirubinemia. (5) The study by Iglessias et al (6) presented in this issue shows that 3.0% of newborn males are G6PD deficient with one third of them suffering jaundice within 48 hours of life and bilirubin levels remaining higher than 10 mg/dL. The most serious case occurred in a neonate with mild G6PD deficiency but with intense and prolonged bilirubin, suggesting that other factors are associated with hemolysis, as has previously been discussed.…”

“…Other studies have also reported the frequency of G6PD deficiency ranging from 2 to 3% in the Brazilian population. (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) Thus these data suggest that 6 million Brazilians have G6PD deficiency and that 1% of infants had episodes of jaundice to varying degrees associated to G6PD deficiency; 1.9 million Brazilians ran the risk of severe neonatal jaundice with a risk of kernicterus.…”

“…No Brasil, a avaliação da morbidade desta carência foi inicialmente realizada pelo estudo de Marques e Campos (1975), em hospitais de Belo Horizonte (MG), no qual registrou a deficiência em 7,8% mórbida, sendo os pacientes mais representados pela raça negra. Neste contexto, estima-se que no Brasil, aproximadamente cerca de 4% da população seja portadora ou doente desta deficiência (Iglessias et al, 2010).…”
