Hemolysis in G6PD may be caused by all except
Ref Harrison 19 th ed pg 656 Although it was primaquine (PQ) that led to the discovery of G6PD deficiency, this drug has not been very prominent subsequently, because it is not necessary for the treatment of life-threatening P. falciparum malaria. Today there is a revival of interest in PQ because it is the only effective agent for eliminating the gameto- cytes of P. falciparum (thus preventing fuher transmission) and eliminating the hypnozoites of Plasmodium vivax (thus preventing endogenous relapse).
