ABSTRACT
We report a case of transient methemoglobinemia in an infant due to gastroenteritis. Methemoglobinemia should be suspected in infants with a history of diarrhea and cyanosis that is out of proportion to the history and clinical examination. Methemoglobinemia can be life threatening, but outcome is good when treated with IV methylene blue.
