title: G-6PD deficiency in malaria endemic areas of Udaipur District in Rajasthan.
abstract: Nine thousand four hundred thirty three pyrexial cases were screened for the evidence of Malaria and Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency among the rural tribal population of seven primary health centres in the malarial endemic areas of Udaipur District in Southern Rajasthan. One thousand four hundred five (P. Falciparum 831 and P. Vivax 574) cases were positive for malaria and 170 for G-6PD deficiency. Incidence of G-6PD deficiency in malaria, when compared to the non-malarial cases revealed statistically insignificant alterations (X2 is calculated to 0.1299 which for 1 degree of freedom gives P > 0.05).
