Corrected entry: The doctors tell House that blood tests did not show anything wrong with the teenage boy, but near the end of the episode, he realises that it is naphthalene poisoning. Naphthalene poisoning is something that is easily noticed by doctors through blood tests.

Correction: Naphthalene is fat soluble. It was only released in his bloodstream when he started losing weight in the hospital.

He didn't start losing weight while he was in the hospital. He started losing weight before he was in hospital. And the naphthalene would have been released into his bloodstream before he was in the hospital.
Did he start losing weight before or after the blood tests?
