Abstract
The diagnosis of hemolytic anemia in a newborn infant secondary to maternal ingestion of moth balls is reported. The acute hemolytic anemia seen in this child apparently originated in utero due to transplacental migration of naphthalene and/or its oxidation products. Often the diagnosis of naphthalene poisoning depends primarily on an accurate history as it did in this case.
