- Abstract
Carotenemia is a clinical condition characterized by yellow skin pigmentation (xanthoderma) and increased blood beta-carotene levels due to various causes. Diet-related carotenemia is common but usually underreported. We report here a case of carotenemia in a male infant caused by over ingestion of the high-carotene diet by the infant and his mother. Recognizing this condition will avoid unnecessary referrals and investigations.
