title: Haemopexin behaviour in an acute hyperhaemolytic crisis secondary to favism (erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency).
abstract: The behaviour of serum haemopexin was studied in patients with hyperhaemolysis after ingestion of fava beans. The linear increase in this substance after a crisis is particularly emphasized. This finding is of special importance for G-6-PD subjects with various haematological disorders.
