Management of nitrobenzene poisoning with oral methylene blue and vitamin C in a resource limited setting: A case report

Nitrobenzene can cause life threatening methaemoglobinemia. Its management includes the use of intravenous methylene blue to reduce the iron moiety from its ferric to ferrous state. Due to unavailability of intravenous preparation, enteral methylene blue was used in our case. This case report is to...

description Nitrobenzene can cause life threatening methaemoglobinemia. Its management includes the use of intravenous methylene blue to reduce the iron moiety from its ferric to ferrous state. Due to unavailability of intravenous preparation, enteral methylene blue was used in our case. This case report is to highlight that even oral preparations can be successfully used in a resource limited setting where often intravenous preparations are unavailable.
