BACKGROUND Naphthalene ingestion is a rare cause of hemolysis. METHODS We report a 33-year-old woman, originating from the Comoros, hospitalized for intense fatigue associated with delirium, fever and jaundice, three days after ritual ingestion of naphthalene. Biochemical parameters showed marked hemolysis. Outcome was favorable after red cells transfusion and hydratation with intravenous fluids. CONCLUSIONS Diagnostic work-up of unexplained hemolysis should include the search for toxic exposition. Naphthalene poisoning can present with diagnostic challenge for physicians.
