Abstract

|
|
We experienced a patient of acquired methemoglobinemia arising from a 13 years old girl.
The patient was suffered from high fever for seven days and generalized cyanosis for one day. This cyanosis proved to be due to abnormal high level of methemoglobin (3.83 gm96) which
-was measured by Evelyn Malloy´s technique. The cause of high fever was salmonellosis, which
was confirmed by blood culture.
Therfore, methemoglobinemia was thought to be because of salmonellosis. It was responded to intravenous methylene blue, ascorbicacid and chloramphenicol.
Among the etiology of acquired methemoglobinemia, salmonellosis was very rare Brief review .of the literature and a case of methemoglobinemia associated with salmonellosis was presented
