Abstract
We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who had been living with his parents, both
cocaine smokers, and who was urgently admitted to hospital for general distress.
Upon examination, cocaine and cocaine metabolites were detected in hair and urine
samples. These toxicological findings most likely indicate that the child had
passively consumed the drug when living in a heavily contaminated environment.
