Abuse or neglect of children by adults must be highlighted in children exposed to drugs to which they would not normally have access. Usually, segmental hair analysis would allow in these contexts to determine whether the exposure was unique or repetitive. Hair and nail samples from a 9\u2010month\u2010old girl were received in our laboratory for analysis, after the child was hospitalized due to severe dehydration caused by her mother's neglect. At the admission, flecainide, an antiarrhythmic never prescribed to the child, was identified in the daughter urine. Using an LC\u2013MS\/MS method, flecainide tested positive in the child's hair at the following concentrations: 66\u2009pg\/mg (root to 1\u00a0cm), 61\u2009pg\/mg (1\u20132\u00a0cm), and 125\u2009pg\/mg (2\u20133\u00a0cm). Traces below the limit of quantification (1\u00a0pg\/mg) were also present in the nail clippings. These concentrations are much lower than those obtained in adults under daily treatment. Given the different pharmacokinetic and dynamic parameters in children, the different rate of hair growth, and the greater porosity of the hair, which makes it more prone to external contamination, the interpretation of hair findings in children remains very complicated. In this case, it can be assumed that the presence of the drug in the urine indicates systemic incorporation and that administration had occurred for some months (three positive segments). The interpretation of hair tests from young children needs a global review of all the findings, as a positive result cannot stand alone to claim repetitive exposures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dta.3531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]],"date-time":"2023-06-08T20:13:42Z","timestamp":1686255222000},"page":"162-167","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evidence of exposure to flecainide in a newborn by keratinous matrices testing and interpretation of the findings"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6676-1406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadia","family":"Arbouche","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de m\u00e9decine l\u00e9gale  Strasbourg France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010S\u00e9bastien","family":"Raul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de m\u00e9decine l\u00e9gale  Strasbourg France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4174-5362","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pascal","family":"Kintz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de m\u00e9decine l\u00e9gale  Strasbourg France"},{"name":"X\u2010Pertise Consulting  Mittelhausbergen France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.World report on child injury prevention2008.https:\/\/www.sdg16hub.org\/system\/files\/2019-07\/World%20report%20on%20child%20injury%20prevention.pdf.
