Overview
Methemoglobinemia may be caused by either congenital or acquired conditions.
Causes
1. Drug Induced
• *Anesthetics like *benzocaine, *lidocaine, *prilocaine
• *Nitric oxide
• *Amyl Nitrate
• Antimalarial drugs like *Primaquine phosphate (in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) methemoglobin reductase deficient individuals)
• *Rasburicase [1]
• *Dapsone
• *Trimethoprim
• *Sulfonamides
• *Aniline dyes
2. Contaminated well water (in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months) [2]
3. Solid foods (not well cooked vegetables high in nitrates in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months)
