Hemolytic reactions (moderate to severe) may occur in individuals with G6PD deficiency and in individuals with a family or personal history of favism. (nih.gov)
In humans with the G6PD genetic deficiency, these compounds lead to favism, a type of anemia. (saskpulse.com)
Clinical manifestations of GR deficiency are very similar to that of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (favism and severe neonatal jaundice). (enerca.org)

But one of the most sensible explanations is the fact that in some people (those suffering from the genetic deficiency known as favism), eating raw broad beans can provoke a serious allergic reaction (severe haemolytic anaemia) and could lead to death. (cooksister.com)

Favism, named after the fava bean, is a hereditary disease that can cause significant levels of hemolysis. (perfusiontheory.com)
Disorder1
In this later case, the disorder is known as favism . (bvsalud.org)
Jaundice2
Indications of such a sudden attack of favism are dark urine, pallor, jaundice, abdominal pain and in most cases fever. (wikipedia.org)
People with favism react to external factors that trigger jaundice during babyhood the most. (gurmebebek.com)
Infants1
In a review of 67 cases of favism over a 3-year period by a physician in Cyprus, 2 of the cases were breastfed infants, aged 5 and 9 months. (nih.gov)
