Abstract
Acute consumption of nitrobenzene (NBZ), an aromatic oxidising nitrate compound, can result in methemoglobinemia (metHb), which inhibits oxygen delivery. NBZ consumption is a well-documented clinical condition. Treatment with intravenous methylene blue (100 mg) and ascorbic acid (500 mg) was effective. At the end of the treatment, patients showed improved signs of cyanosis and hypoxia conditions.
