45 yo man, comes to your office complaining of fever, weakness, lightheadedness and dark urine.On past history he claims his family is Jewish, but doesn't remember similar cases happening. 2 weeks ago he had a skin infection. Took antibiotic but can't remember name.
On phisical exam you find tachycardia, pale conjuctivas, skin lesion is almost healed. rest is normal. Laboratory shows: normocytic anemia with reticulocytosis,and indirect bilirubinemia. A coombs test is (+)
What is the most likely cause of his anemia?
a. Sickle cell dz
b. G6PD def
c. Anemia of Chronic dz
d. Wadensteoms macroglobulinemia
e. Drug induced

G6PD wont give you Coombs +...
