Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The occurrence of sproradic cases of an acute hemolysis following ingestion of broad beans (seeds of the Vicia faba plant, fava beans) was first recorded in the medical literature around the mid 1850s.4 Since then a vast number of clinical reports as well as epidemiological, genetic, and biochemical studies have jointly contributed to the characterization of this disorder, termed “favism”, and to the elucidation of its etiology and pathogenesis.83, 119.
