| validation of g6pd point-of-care tests among healthy volunteers in yangon, myanmar. | primaquine and other 8-amnoquinoline based anti-malarials can cause haemolysis in subjects with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency. correct diagnosis of g6pd status in patients is crucial for safe treatment of both relapsing stages of plasmodium vivax and transmitting forms of plasmodium falciparum. lack of suitable point-of-care tests has hampered a much needed wide use of primaquine for malaria elimination. in this study we have assessed the performances of two qualitative tes ... | 2016 | 27035821 |
| isoenzyme variation in schizonts of plasmodium vivax from burma. | fifteen isolates of blood containing plasmodium vivax were collected from hospital in-patients in rangoon and the schizonts were harvested for starch gel electrophoresis of the following parasite isoenzymes--glucose phosphate isomerase (gpi) (ec.5.3.1.9), nadp-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh) (ec.1.4.1.4), lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) (ec.1.1.1.27) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6pgd) (ec.1.1.1.43). variation was found only in gpi. the other three isoenzymes appeared to be invariant ... | 1986 | 3014688 |
