Abstract
case descr ibed here, can only be detected by procedures such as the M T T cytochemica l method , which are too expens ive and t ime consuming for rout ine use. However, w h e n e v e r unexpla ined neonata l j aund ice occurs, particularly in e thnic groups such as the Greeks or Chinese in w h o m severe G-6 -PD deficiency is prevalent, identification of G-6-PD deficiency in the neonate may alert family and physic ian to the need for avoidance of potentially hemolyt ic agents during subsequen t pregnancies. The ery throcytes o f such newborn infants should, therefore , be eva lua ted routinely for the presence of G-6-PD deficiency.
