Overview

Methemoglobinemia presents with very distinct physical presentation.

Physical Examination

  • Methemoglobinemia patients can present with different shades of bluish skin color, depending on the levels of MetHb in the blood. J Emerg Med. 2010 Jun;38(5):601-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jemermed.2008.06.025. Epub 2008 Dec 20.

Severe methemoglobinemia linked to gel-type topical benzocaine use: a case report. Chung NY1, Batra R, Itzkevitch M, Boruchov D, Baldauf M. PMID: 19097728

  • High methemoglobin levels in arterial blood causes the characteristic chocolate-brown color of the blood as compared to normal bright red oxygen-containing arterial blood.
