Hello,

G-6-PD patients are prone to develop hemolysis of blood when exposed to infection and hence oxidative stress.

I suggest you to consult your pediatrician for clinical assessment and prompt treatment of infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
