Methemoglobinemia and Sulfhemoglobinemia in Two Pediatric Patients after Ingestion of Hydroxylamine Sulfate
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case report describes two pediatric cases of immediate oxygen desaturation from methemoglobinemia and sulfhemoglobinemia after one sip from a plastic water bottle containing hydroxylamine sulfate used by a relative to clean shoes. Supplemental oxygen and two separate doses of methylene blue given to one of the patients had no effect on clinical symptoms or pulse oximetry. The patients were admitted to the pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with subsequent improvement after exchange transfusion. Endoscopy showed ulcer formation in one case and sucralafate was initiated; both patients were discharged after a one-week hospital stay.

International Perspective from Singapore on “Methemoglobinemia and Sulfhemoglobinemia in Two Pediatric Patients after Ingestion of Hydroxylamine Sulfate”
Accidental ingestional poisoning among pediatric patients is a prevalent problem. In the absence of a well-designed national injury and poisoning surveillance system, cases often go unreported. Underreporting also occurs because many pediatric ingestions are trivial and not referred to a hospital for further medical management.1 To reduce health risks posed by common household products, emphasi...
متن کاملCyanosis without Sulf- or Methemoglobinemia in Patients Receiving Sulfanilamide Treatment.

Colebrook and Kenny (1) in an early report, stated that three of thirty-eight patients developed sulfhemoglobinemia, as shown by spec...
متن کاملOn the noninvasive optical monitoring and differentiation of methemoglobinemia and sulfhemoglobinemia.
There are several pathologies whose study and diagnosis is impaired by a relatively small number of documented cases. A practical approach to overcome this obstacle and advance the research in this area consists in employing computer simulations to perform controlled in silico experiments. The results of these experiments, in turn, may be incorporated in the design of differential protocols for...
