We report on a patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency who developed acute hemolytic anemia after having received an injection of Ginkgo biloba for dementia prophylaxis without medical advice. She suddenly developed general malaise, generalized yellowish skin color, and tea-colored urine. Intravenous fluid infusion and cessation of G. biloba quickly relieved her clinical symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of G. biloba-induced acute hemolytic anemia in vivo.
我们报告了一例葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G6PD）缺乏症患者，在没有医嘱的情况下，因预防痴呆而注射银杏叶后发生急性溶血性贫血。她突然出现全身不适、全身皮肤发黄和茶色尿。静脉补液和停止使用银杏叶后，她的临床症状迅速缓解。据我们所知，这是首例体内银杏叶诱导的急性溶血性贫血病例报告。
