Is G6PD activity increased at clinically relevant levels in the course of an acute malaria episode? We think so. journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

Excited to share our latest article published in @plosntds: journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic… #plosntdsauthor showing that under optimal conditions the G6PD STANDARD by SD BIOSENSOR shows very good reproducibility

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35544453/ The first ever longitudinal study that suggests that G6PD activity increases at clinically relevant levels in malaria patients. This may render radical cure much safer than assumed to date. Thanks to all my colleagues who contributed!

Our latest meta-analysis describing G6PD activities / G6PD variant is published and supports WHO calls to revise the current G6PD classification. Many thanks to all authors! mdpi.com/2076-0817/11/9…

Are village malaria workers competent enough to use biosensors? Is community-based management of vivax malaria feasible? Please read findings from our operational research that provides pragmatic answers to those questions: mdpi.com/2076-0817/12/3… @MORUBkk Tropical Medicine Oxford #G6PD

Safer malaria treatment starts with reliable G6PD testing. A new meta-analysis shows significant performance differences across point-of-care devices, impacting safe radical cure for P. vivax. Global scale-up of accurate testing is urgently needed. doi.org/10.1371/journa…
