Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme that helps red blood cells to work properly. Some people have less than the usual amount of G6PD in their red blood cells. This is called G6PD deficiency, or favism. Most people with G6PD deficiency have completely normal health, but sometimes it can cause problems. This guide explains the problems G6PD deficiency may cause and what to do if your child has problems. Audio available. (English)
