8 cases of methemoglobinemia are observed in infants of 28 days to 138 days of age, who have all acute diarrhea. They are divided in two groups. --4 infants who have eaten for a long time a rich nitrate and nitrite content carrot soup. --4 cases of severe diarrhea with probable endogenous
Of 17 infants requiring hospitalization for primary soy or cow milk protein intolerance, six infants (35%) had transient methemoglobinemia. Reexposure to the offending protein caused diarrhea, metabolic acidosis, and transient methemoglobinemia in all patients. These six patients represented 65% of
OBJECTIVE
Infants with diarrhea are at a greater-than-recognized risk of developing methemoglobinemia.
METHODS
Prospective clinical study.
METHODS
A university hospital pediatric emergency department.
METHODS
Consecutive infants under 6 months of age with a history of diarrhea of more than 24 hours'
BACKGROUND
A 2-month-old kitten was referred for depression and partial anorexia since 3 days and chronic diarrhea lasting for over 3 weeks. General physical examination showed pale and cyanotic mucous membranes. Blood sample was of brownish appearance. Venous blood gas analysis and complete blood
We report on the case of a young infant with chronic diarrhea that worsened and turned into hypovolemic shock with methemoglobinemia. We underline and discuss the main features of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). FPIES is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy involving tumor necrosis
A 3-week-old child arrived at the emergency room with the concurrent onset of sepsis and methemoglobinemia associated with diarrhea. Subsequently, the child had two recurrent episodes of methemoglobinemia with re-exacerbations of his diarrhea. Possible causes and associations of methemoglobinemia
We present a case of twin Hispanic male infants fed with cow's milk formula who presented at 3 weeks of life with nonbilious, nonbloody vomiting and diarrhea. Laboratory evaluation revealed leukocytosis, acidosis, and methemoglobinemia. Sepsis evaluation was negative. Although they recovered quickly
Naphthalene poisoning is a rare form of toxicity that may occur after ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure to naphthalene-containing compounds such as mothballs. Clinically, patients present with acute onset of dark brown urine, watery diarrhea, and non-bloody bilious vomiting 48-96 hours after
Methemoglobinemia among infants is a rare and potentially fatal condition caused by genetic enzyme deficiencies, metabolic acidosis, and exposure to certain drugs and chemicals. The most widely recognized environmental cause of this problem is ingestion of nitrate-containing water. Ingestion of
A 5-week-old previously healthy male presented with vomiting and diarrhea leading to hypovolemic shock and profound metabolic acidosis. He was subsequently found to have severe methemoglobinemia. The acidosis and shock improved with fluid resuscitation and methemoglobinemia was successfully treated
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
