The potential haemolytic effect of three chemotherapeutic drugs and aspirin was tested in vitro by gluthathione stability tests. Blood was collected from the local population of Basra, Iraq where previous studies had found a high frequency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [G6PD] deficiency. Primaquine, chloramphenicol and sulfanilamide caused significant concentration-dependent reductions of glutathione levels in G6PD-deficient red cells when compared to normal red cells. Acetylsalicylic acid had no effect on glutathione level. The G6PD-deficient erythrocytes behaved as previously reported, probably due to similar patterns in the distribution of its variants. Studies on each local variant are warranted and new drugs should be tested for haemolytic potential prior to their introduction in areas where the deficiency is common

Abstract Sulfhemoglobinemia associated with Heinz body formation and acute hemolytic anemia following contact with a fungicide, zinc ethylene bisdithiocarbamate, is described in a Persian Jew whose red blood cells had low glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity with low and unstable reduced glutathione and low catalase activity. The fungicide, similarly to acetylphenylhydrazine, was capable of decreasing in vitro the reduced glutathione of the patient’s red blood cells, as well as of those of other subjects with the same enzymatic defect. The sulfhemoglobinemia and the hemolytic anemia are considered to have been produced independently by the fungicide, the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency having played a role only in the latter. The possibility that the hypocatalasemia was a factor in rendering the patient’s red blood cells sensitive to the hemolysis- and sulfhemoglobin-producing action of the fungicide is discussed. The importance of zinc ethylene bisdithiocarbamate as a sulfhemoglobin-producing and hemolytic agent is stressed, in view of the widespread use of this fungicide.
