... antibodies to fava beans by passive haemagglutination tests. 75 patients affected by acute favism were studied by this method. Haemagglutination tests were positive in 5 patients (6.6%) at the onset of the haemolytic crisis but a rapid fall of the titres was observed in the subsequent days, β 1 c/ β 1A...

...H. Vergnes; A. Yoshida; D. Gourdin; M. Gherardi; R. Biermé; J. Ruffié A new G-6-PD variant has been discovered in a 6-year-old boy, who is a carrier of a severe enzyme deficiency, with a typical favism background. The patient is of South Italian ancestry, and the enzymatic anomaly has been...

...Stefano Cutillo; Tullio Meloni The serum levels of haptoglobin (Hp) and hemopexin (Hx) have been investigated in favism and thalassemia. In 25 children with favism, Hp was absent in 22 and both Hp and Hx in 7 cases. In 45 children with Cooley’s anemia, Hp was absent in 13 and Hx in 37 cases. In 25...

...Axel Kahn; Joëlle Marie; Jean-Claude Desbois; Pierre Boivin In a Portuguese boy with favism G-6PD deficiency was found. Deficiency was due to a G-6PD variant close or identical to Canton-type G-6PD. The muted protein had a lowered catalytic activity and, furthermore, was unstable. The post...

These data suggested that the reduction of SRC-rosetting lymphocytes observed during acute hemolysis of favism can be related to a modifying effect of bilirubin...

.... The highest percentage of hemolytic crises was due to fresh fava beans (94.4%). No cases of favism were observed in breast-fed babies whose mothers had eaten fava beans or from pollen inhalation. The male sex proved to be the hardest hit. Hemoglobin values were lower than or equal to 7 g/dl in about 75...
