Acute methemoglobinemia may be caused by topical anesthetics and other oxidizing medications commonly prescribed by Family Physicians. Without knowledge of this potentially lethal condition, delay in diagnosis and treatment is likely. Methemoglobinemia should be considered in any patient presenting with cyanosis, particularly after the use of oxidizing medications. We describe a case of methemo...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of three fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs): the chemical o-toluidine test, the immunochemical OC-Hemodia test, and the immunochromatographic Quick Chaser Occult Blood (QCOB) test, which detect human hemoglobin and transferrin simultaneously in cases of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Included were 48 FOBT specimens i...
