title: [A boy with jaundice].
abstract: A 1-year-old Moroccan boy was referred because of jaundice. A peripheral blood smear showed 'blister cells'. This finding is characteristic for haemolysis caused by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. It appeared hemolysis occurred because the boy ate fava beans.
