Abstract
When an infant presents with cyanosis which is not associated with respiratory distress and who has normal respiratory and circulatory system findings, methemoglobinemia should always be considered. Here we report a 45-day old infant with methemoglobinemia after the use of a local anesthetic agent (prilocaine) for circumcision and the onset of hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia after treatment with methylene blue.
Özet
Siyanoz ile başvuran, solunum sıkıntısı olmayan, dolaşım ve solunum sistem muayeneleri normal ve özellikle ilaç alım öyküsü olan hastalarda kesinlikle methemoglobinemi düşünülmelidir. Burada 45 günlük sünnet edilen ve sünnet sırasında kullanılan prilokain sonrası methemoglobinemi, tedavide verilen metilen mavisi sonrasında hemolitik anemi ve hiperbilirubinemi gelişen bir vaka sunulmuştur.
