Abstract
A 3 years old previously healthy boy presented with h/o fever, gross hematuria and vomiting after ingesting a locally popular ayurvedic drug formulation called GERU which contains Ferric oxide. On investigations he was found to be G6PD deficient which lead to Intravascular hemolysis and Methemoglobinemia due to oxidative stress. He was aggressively managed and was discharged in a stable condition after 5 days.
