Nitrobenzene induced methemoglobinemia treated with manual exchange transfusion in a resource-limited setting: a case report
A thorough clinical evaluation is key in diagnosing methemoglobinemia in circumstances where specific tests to detect methemoglobin are not available. Treatment with methylene blue can be ineffective, contraindicated or unavailable in some circumstances. In such situations, alternative therapies such as TWBE and intravenous vitamin C should be considered.
