THE ability of redox drugs and chemicals to induce hemolytic anemia associated with methemoglobin and the formation of Heinz bodies in red blood cells has long been known,1 and the mechanism of the ...

Cyanide also preferentially binds to the ferric ion of methemoglobin, ... since the formation of cyanomethemoglobin can potentially be misread as methemoglobin formation by an oximeter during ...

Thus, when this transition occurs, there is a time when the signal is isointense on T1-weighted scans. If one looks closely at the T1-weighted scan, one can see a faint rim of bright signal. This ...

Potentially harmful levels of methemoglobin, which can build in patients receiving certain anesthetics, can be detected using a new, non-invasive monitoring technique called pulse CO-oximetry, ...

Prompt diagnosis, removal of toxic drugs, and treatment can quickly reverse methemoglobin (MetHb) formation. We report a case of methemoglobinemia in which cyclophosphamide is the likely etiologic ...
