in this study, indicating that despite the elevated levels of the enzyme in reticulocytes the reduced enzymatic activities of G-6-PD variants present in our study group cannot be compensated by the elevated reticulocytosis status.
However, in G-6-PD- normal blood samples, reticulocyte numbers did perturb measurements of G-6-PD activity, but it is unlikely that a G-6-PD-deficient condition is produced when reticulocyte counts return to normal level in later stages
