    Modelling primaquine-induced haemolysis in G6PD deficiency

    James Watson, Walter RJ Taylor ... Nicholas J White
    In silico modelling of all available data shows that a twenty-day ascending-dose primaquine regimen could be safe to administer to G6PD deficient patients for the radical cure of vivax malaria.
