Sericosis is an incompletely dominant genetic disease, so it is possible that neither parent has sericosis, leading to the development of the disease in the child.
As long as both parents carry the gene, there is still a chance that the child will develop the disease. The incidence of the disease is different for boys and girls, with girls having a lower incidence than boys.
The main focus of the disease is prevention, regular checkups can reduce the occurrence of hemolytic disease. Parents should be careful not to let their children touch or eat fava beans and their processed products. Do not touch fava beans from the flowering to the harvesting period to avoid an increased chance of developing the disease after exposure.
Daily care should be taken to avoid taking antimalarials (e.g., primaquine, etc.), sulfonamides (e.g., sulfapyridine, p-aminobenzene sulfonamide, etc.), antipyretic and analgesic drugs, and other medications that may cause hemolysis.
