abstract="A case of severe methemoglobinemia and hemolytic anemia following ingestion of 5.6 gm of phenazopyridine with suicidal intent by a 16-year-old woman was successfully treated with intravenous methylene blue. Methemoglobinemia was suspected in this patient because of her intense central cyanosis, chocolate-colored blood, and minimal dyspnea. The patient's peripheral blood smear exhibited &quot;bite cells.&quot; To the best of our knowledge, this is only the third such case reported in the literature. The pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapy are reviewed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
