Zusammenfassung:The early characterization of G6PD activity provides an aetiological diagnosis for neonatal jaundice, as well as the opportunity to give the newborns family information concerning the prevention of complications like hemolytic crisis and jaundice and mortality associated with G6PD deficiency. Considering its high incidence in our country, a neonatal screening programme for G6PD deficiency should therefore be taken into account in national health schemes.
