“…The samples in our study were suspected cases of G6PD de cient patients attending UCMS-TH only which could be low as compared to the susceptible patients of G6PD de ciency regions. [16] The mean ± SD of G6PD activity in the sample population was 15.69 ± 4.23 IU/g Hb in our study which is quite different than that of Kim S et al who projected 10.9 ± 4.6 IU/g Hb. Since the study done by them was in a different region of Asia i.e.…”
