ABSTRACT
Nine G-6-PD subjects developed acute hemolysis and severe hyperbilirubinemia (up to 61.1 mg/dl) following viral hepatitis. All except one had fever at presentation. Neutrophilic leukocytosis was a common feature. Elevation of both alanine aminotransferase (SGPT) and extremely high level of aspartate aminotransferase (SGOT) were prominent. Three developed acute renal failure. All patients survived, one after peritoneal dialysis. Recognition of the clinical picture is essential to prevent serious complications and for successful management.
