Recent studies and directions for further research Despite an array of laboratory findings suggesting that COVID-19 patients with G6PD deficiency may suffer a worse prognosis, one clinical study concluded that G6PD-deficient patients might experience less severe symptoms, requiring reduced ventilatory support and an overall lower case-fatality rate than patients with in-tact G6PD [11]
Last summer, Ramos, whose district includes the Homewood campus, sent a letter to university leadership seeking $100 million in community investments in exchange for her to ditch a proposed zoning change that could have hampered DSAIs development
