Abstract

The use of vitamin K in a patient with suspected or proven glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a controversial topic with divided opinions even among the subject experts. We thus aim to summarize the available literature and provide the personal viewpoint of the authors on this aspect.
