Registration and characterization of patients with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency in Spain: A real-world study of the Spanish Erythropathology Group (GEE)
(ASH 2025)
- "Drug-relatedcauses accounted for 5%, with the most common medications being primaquine, rasburicase, COX-2inhibitors, and chemotherapy/antibiotics.The median hemoglobin during crises was 7.5 g/dL (range 3.9–11.1), while outside of crises it was 13.1g/dL (range 10.9–15.3). Our data highlight the importance of diagnosis to prevent acute hemolytic crises—the main reason fortesting in our cohort. In contrast, pre-treatment testing represented a small percentage of cases.We must reconsider the target population for screening and the most appropriate method to implementit, in order to identify not only affected individuals but also carriers of the disease. Finally, it is worthnoting the high genetic variability observed in our country, attributable to the inclusion of patients fromdiverse geographic Background s.No conflicts of interest."

Haematologic responses to primaquine used for radical cure of Plasmodium vivax in public health facilities in Ethiopia: a prospective observational study.
(PubMed, Malar J)
- "In this study, conducted in a population with a low prevalence of G6PD deficiency, a 14-day regimen of low-dose primaquine was well tolerated and resulted in few mild adverse events only. These findings support the current national policy for low-dose primaquine in Ethiopia without prior G6PD testing, if systems for monitoring adverse events are in place."

Travel-Related Malaria Diagnosis on Karius Test Despite Negative Blood Smear.
(PubMed, Trop Med Infect Dis)
- "The patient needed several treatment regimens for the recurrent attacks, including chloroquine and primaquine, artemether-lumefantrine, and eventually a combination of quinine and doxycycline together with a prolonged course of primaquine. This case demonstrates the limitations of smear microscopy diagnosis in P. vivax infections, highlights the role of molecular diagnostics like the Karius test, and stresses the importance of preventing relapses with adequate hypnozoite clearance. It further highlights the importance of clinician awareness and diligent follow-up in cases of travel-related Malaria, especially those with unusual presentations or recurrent symptoms."

Identification of antimalarial drugs and bradykinin as ligands of the Plasmodium membrane protein PfSR10.
(PubMed, iScience)
- "In this study, we found that antimalarial drugs including chloroquine (CQ), dihydroartemisinin (DHA), piperaquine-tetraphosphatetetrahydrate (PIP-TT), and primaquine diphosphate (PQ) are PfSR10 agonists that induce coupling with human Gi/Gq proteins, confirmed through biochemical reconstitution and cryo-EM analysis. Ligand binding and conformational changes were characterized via mutagenesis and FlAsH-BRET assays. These results establish PfSR10 as a receptor for both antimalarials and host peptides, highlighting its dual role in drug action and host-parasite communication, with broad implications in understanding malaria pathogenesis and developing new therapeutics."

WITHDRAWN Treatment of partial artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria with pyronaridine-artesunate (Pyramax®) in Gia Lai province Vietnam
(ASTMH 2025)
- "Patients received Pyramax® once daily for 3 days, dosed according to body weight, plus single-dose primaquine (0.25 mg/kg) on Day 0. The eight patients who experienced a recrudescence of infection had lower (P=0.065) blood pyronaridine concentrations (median 33.3 ng/mL, range: 12.4 to 90.5) compared to the 95 patients who were malaria-free by Day 42 (median 47.6 ng/mL, range: 10.6 to 123.0). Although Pyramax® remains efficacious in treating P. falciparum the lower pyronaridine concentrations in those patients who recrudesced is of concern with reduced exposure of the long acting pyronaridine."

SEVERE PNEUMOCYSTIS PNEUMONIA IN A NON-HIV PATIENT: A CAN'T-MISS DIAGNOSIS
(CHEST 2025)
- "She had received several cycles of chemotherapy and atezolizumab before developing ICI colitis, which was treated with infliximab and steroids...Initial testing revealed a positive beta-D-glucan (BDG), prompting empiric treatment for PJP with atovaquone, given her sulfa allergy...Her prednisone dosage was increased, and she was transitioned to clindamycin and primaquine for severe PJP pneumonia... Identifying PJP in non-HIV patients can be challenging, but it has significant implications for treatment and prognosis. Diagnosis can be straightforward if BDG is positive and if sputum samples are obtainable, but results may take several days to return. Treatment should not be delayed if there is high clinical suspicion, with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole being the first line choice."

A PATIENT WITH WALDENSTROM MACROGLOBULINEMIA AND BILATERAL INFILTRATES: WHAT CAN IT BE?
(CHEST 2025)
- "Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole remains the corner stone for therapy with atovaquone and combination of clindamycin - primaquine serving as alternative agents. Ibrutinib should be held during active infection. Currently, the incidence rates of PJP infection in patients with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia on ibrutinib therapy being less than 5%, there are no guidelines to start PJP prophylaxis in such patients."

A NOVEL SALVAGE THERAPY FOR PNEUMOCYSTIS JIROVECII PNEUMONIA
(CHEST 2025)
- "He showed marked improvement after transitioning to clindamycin and micafungin and ultimately completed successful treatment with the addition of primaquine...His outpatient regimen included methotrexate and infliximab...He had completed an empiric course of moxifloxacin for atypical pneumonia and prednisone for possible pneumonitis...He was started empirically on solumedrol for possible methotrexate pneumonitis and later transitioned to high-dose prednisone...Despite two weeks of TMP-SMX, however, he reported worsening dyspnea and required increasing oxygen support through high flow nasal cannula... Our case suggests that the micafungin and clindamycin may be a safe and effective option for non-HIV patients with refractory PJP and could serve as a bridge to more established salvage therapies. More large-scale trials are needed to assess the effectiveness of micafungin and clindamycin as salvage therapy."

(CHEST 2025)
- "Biktarvy was initiated for HIV/AIDS along with Bactrim for PJP, which was confirmed with bronchoalveolar lavage after patient underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy...Diagnosis of PJP involves microbiologic identification of the organism in induced sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage, although, beta-D-glucan, LDH and clinical presentation can lead to presumptive diagnosis and guide treatment with Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole or alternatives such as Atovaquone, Clindamycin with Primaquine, Trimethoprim with Dapsone or Pentamidine along with adjunctive steroids, if indicated... Severe PJP is associated with higher mortality in patients who develop respiratory complications such as hypoxemia and pneumothorax. Timely diagnosis, aggressive treatment with correct antimicrobials, and, if indicated, adjunctive glucocorticoids are all crucial to improving outcomes while providing supportive treatment.
