Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning can be seen especially in winter months. Diagnosis is very difficult in the neonatal period based on signs and findings. In this article, we report a case of a neonate who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy because of the high level of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) which was diagnosed as CO poisoning in family members.
