Fabism [Latin:fabella, small bean] A form of acute hemolytic anemia in the Italian district of Calabria, the Balkans and North Africa, from eating beans, Vicia faba, or inhalation of pollen. Observed and studied in detail by L. Preti of Germany in 1927. It was also investigated by T. McCrae and J.C. Uller in 1933. A hereditary factor in the susceptibility was demonstrated by J.E. Hutton of America in 1937. The mechanism of hemolysis was later proved to be due to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. See lathyrism.
