A resuscitation puzzle: acute acquired methemoglobinemia

K Tada et al. Crit Care Med. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

We treated a 32-day-old baby suffering acute acquired methemoglobinemia induced by topical application of aniline cocaine. Although acute acquired methemoglobinemia with severe cyanosis and distress is potentially fatal, this rare syndrome is easily curable if it is correctly diagnosed.
