چکیده
A 76-year old farmer ingested 100 g of chlorphenamidine (Galectron), a plant acaricle, for the purpose of suicide. Gastric lavage was performed and the patient survived. Methemoglobinemia was noted after emergency treatment and was still present at 20 hours after ingestion of the compound. The patient was lethargic for at least 50 hours. Moderate neutrophilic leukocytosis and kidney injury were observed.

متن کاملEffect of Methemoglobinemia
Experiments by one of us (1) have shown that methemoglobinemia exerts a protective effect in dogs against poisoning due to inhalation of HCN and CNCl. The possibility of applying these findings in man raised the question as to the extent to which methemoglobinemia would impair various physiological functions. Several groups of investigators (2 to 4) have found that a rise in the threshold of th...
متن کاملDrug-induced methemoglobinemia.
The normal presentation of a patient with a drug induced methemoglobinemia is a low pulse oximetry (SpO2) reading, usually in the mid 80% range, while having a very high PaO2 on an arterial blood gas (ABG)1. We present a case where the initial ABG showed a very high PaO2 and a metabolic alkalosis while the SpO2 fluctuated (85% 99%). Those findings combined with hemodynamic instability complicat...
