Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers presented the case of a 52-year-old male with severe methemoglobinemia unresponsive to conventional treatment.

What They Found

A 52-year-old male presented with severe methemoglobinemia (MetHb level 49.1mm/Hg) after exposure to paint thinner and zinc phosphate. His symptoms and MetHb levels were resistant to high flow oxygen and methylene blue therapies. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) was then initiated, leading to prompt cure.
