Background: Hypertriglyceridemia in children means increased plasma fasting Triglyceride levels above the 95th percentile for age and sex.

Hypertriglyceridemia can be mild to borderline high, moderate to high, very high, severe and very severe (>2000 mg/dl). We present the case of a 1 month and 3 weeks old baby who presented with difficulty in breathing. It was accidentally found to have strawberry yoghurt like blood during phlebotomy, of which upon investigation had very high triglyceride levels of >2000 mg/dl.
