title: [Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Diagnosis during treatment of a mandibular fracture].
abstract: The authors report a case of a 36 year old black American male, who was operated for a fracture of the mandibular angle. A second surgical procedure was necessary, because of post-operative infectious complications. An hemolytic anemia occurred which was linked to a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Clinical and general aspects of the disease are discussed.
