What is Acquired Methemoglobinemia about?
A 25-year-old woman presented with symptoms of generalized weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath, and skin discoloration, with a significant drop in oxygen saturation despite supplemental oxygen. Diagnosis of acquired methemoglobinemia was confirmed with a methemoglobin level of 44%, attributed to excessive use of topical benzocaine. Treatment with intravenous methylene blue led to significant improvement, and the patient was referred for outpatient dental follow-up.
