A total of 889 cord blood samples collected from newborn infants of both sexes and 563 samples of venous blood collected from adult males in Iraq were examined for evidence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. The deficiency was proved to exist in all ethnic groups in Iraq and in both adult males and infants. The overall incidence of the deficiency was 8.9% in the adults and 8.4% in the infants. The difference is not statistically significant. Evidence is given to suggest that favism ("khsaissa") is known to the people of southern Iraq.
对从伊拉克男女新生儿采集的889份脐带血样本以及从成年男性采集的563份静脉血样本进行了葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶(G6PD)缺乏症检测。结果证明,伊拉克所有种族以及成年男性和婴儿中均存在该缺乏症。该缺乏症在成年人中的总体发病率为8.9%,在婴儿中的发病率为8.4%。差异无统计学意义。有证据表明,伊拉克南部的人们知晓蚕豆病(“khsaissa”)。
