Hemolysis associated with aluminum phosphide poisoning is very rare. Intravascular hemolysis in presence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been reported rarely in literature. We are reporting a case of young male patient with history of aluminum phosphide poisoning and complicated with intravascular hemolysis without G6PD deficiency. It has been reported only once in the literature.
