    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1984 May 15; 130(10):1319-22. PubMed ID: 6722696.
    Abstract:
    A patient with massive intravascular Heinz-body hemolytic anemia associated with the presence of bizarre-looking erythrocytes following the oral ingestion of approximately 100 mL of "penetrating oil", a petroleum distillate containing 85% kerosene, 12% cresol and 2% surfactant, is described. He was treated successfully with immediate erythrocytapheresis and forced diuresis.
