Primaquine treatment for <i>P. ovale</i> infection in migrants with G6PD deficiency
Four patients from Sub-Saharan Africa were infected by Plasmodium ovale and simultaneously presented with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Primaquine 0.75 mg/kg once a week during 8 weeks was administered with a close hematologic follow-up. Non-significant alterations in hemogram and hemolytic parameters were observed in any case.
