Özet

Lawsone is a chemical present in henna, the crushed leaves of which are used worldwide as a cosmetic agent to stain hair, skin and nails. Vitro observations showed that lawsone was capable of causing oxidative hemolysis in a close dependent manner in rats. In the literature, acute hemolysis after henna dye application over the human body is rare except in infancy. A Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme deficient patient with acute hemolysis after exposure to henna is presented.
