Presentation
Individuals with hemolytic anemia can present with fatigue, pallor, irregular heartbeats, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath. Hemolytic anemia is found in all forms. [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] synthesis is not rate-limiting for all the toxicities that arise from exposure to elevated oxygen tensions and while enhancement of GSH synthesis may prove to be a significant component of therapies for amelioration of the adverse effects of hyperoxia, the present [nature.com]
This was the reason why in the present study the enzyme activities within the parasites were rigorously established. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Chronic hemolytic anemia due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency or glutathione synthetase deficiency: the role of vitamin E in its treatment. Corash LM, Sheetz M, Bieri JG, Bartsocas C, Moses S, Bashan N, Schulman JD. Corash LM, et al. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[5]; and (iii) poor medical infrastructure: less than 1% of infected people have access to diagnostics and treatment [65]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis for the moderate form is intermediate. In mild glutathione synthetase deficiency, hemolytic anemia is the primary finding with apparently no effects outside of erythrocytes. Individuals with this form do well clinically. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Hence, to prevent parasite resistance against this type of antichagasic drugs, γECS and TXN1 (and TryS) activities should be blocked. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
