primaquine and Anemia

primaquine has been researched along with Anemia in 28 studies

Primaquine: An aminoquinoline that is given by mouth to produce a radical cure and prevent relapse of vivax and ovale malarias following treatment with a blood schizontocide. It has also been used to prevent transmission of falciparum malaria by those returning to areas where there is a potential for re-introduction of malaria. Adverse effects include anemias and GI disturbances. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopeia, 30th ed, p404)
primaquine : An N-substituted diamine that is pentane-1,4-diamine substituted by a 6-methoxyquinolin-8-yl group at the N(4) position. It is a drug used in the treatment of malaria and Pneumocystis pneumonia.

Anemia: A reduction in the number of circulating ERYTHROCYTES or in the quantity of HEMOGLOBIN.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Primaquine was licenced for anti-relapse therapy in 1952 and became available despite threatening patients having an inborn deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) with acute haemolytic anaemia."6.52Origins and implications of neglect of G6PD deficiency and primaquine toxicity in Plasmodium vivax malaria. ( Baird, K, 2015)
"At least four doses of quinine followed by a single dose of mefloquine or by a single dose of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine are two highly effective regimens for chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria."4.75The treatment of malaria. ( Hall, AP, 1976)
"Safe treatment of Plasmodium vivax requires diagnosis of both the infection and status of erythrocytic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity because hypnozoitocidal therapy against relapse requires primaquine, which causes a mild to severe acute hemolytic anemia in G6PD deficient patients."3.81G6PD deficiency at Sumba in Eastern Indonesia is prevalent, diverse and severe: implications for primaquine therapy against relapsing Vivax malaria. ( Baird, JK; Baramuli, V; Coutrier, FN; Elvira, R; Elyazar, I; Harahap, AR; Noviyanti, R; Ridenour, C; Sadhewa, A; Satyagraha, AW, 2015)
"A practical radical treatment for vivax malaria is essential for control and elimination of the disease."2.73A randomised trial of an eight-week, once weekly primaquine regimen to prevent relapse of plasmodium vivax in Northwest Frontier Province, Pakistan. ( Erasmus, P; Kolaczinski, J; Leslie, T; Mayan, I; Mohammed, N; Rowland, M; Whitty, CJ, 2008)
