Abstract

Blood need not always be red. We report a case of a 3 month old boy whose blood was strawberry pink before centrifugation and white (profusely lipemic) after centrifugation. The differential diagnosis was familial hypercholesterolemia or familial combined hyperlipidemia.

Keywords: Colour; Hue.
