ABSTRACT
Nitrobenzene is a poisonous agent, not commonly encountered in clinical practice, which belongs to the aniline dyes. Ingestion of nitrobenzene may cause methemoglobinemia, a condition in which the iron in hemoglobin is oxidized from the ferrous state to the ferric state, resulting in the inability to transport oxygen. A 41-year-old man presented with the clinical features of methemoglobinemia after drinking nitrobenzene. The patient was treated conservatively with intravenous methylene blue. We report a case of acute methemoglobinemia due to ingestion of nitrobenzene.
