Purpose : Methemoglobinemia has been observed during a diarrheal illness among those who were not exposed to oxidizing agents in neonates and young infants. We performed the study to determine predisposing factors in this entity. Methods : The medical records of 24 patients were reviewed, who were admitted for diarrhea with methemoglobinemia to Ewha Womans University MokDong Hospital, from February 1994 to November 2000.

Do Hyeon Kim, Jin A Lee, Sung Jae Lee, Heui Seung Jo, Yun Kyoung Lee, June Dong Park, Beyong Il Kim, Jung-Hwan Choi, Dong Soon Lee, Han Ik Cho, Kyung Ran Park
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2001;44(6):699-704.   Published online June 15, 2001
Congenital methemoglobinemia is caused by NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency in more than half of the total reported cases. NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency is an uncommon hereditary disorder producing methemoglobinemia and cyanosis in the homozygous subject. A majority of the patients born with these abnormalities have only a cosmetic defect-asymptomatic cyanosis. Congenital methemoglobinemia due to NADH-methemoglobin reductase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder...

Young Suk Kim, Eun-A Kim, Jae-Young Lim, Myoung-Bum Choi, Chan-Hoo Park, Hyang-Ok Woo, Byung-Kiu Park, Hee-Shang Youn, Yang-Suk Jung, Dong-Jin Lee, Jung Hee Kim, Eun Jeong Kim, Chul Kyu Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2000;43(12):1569-1576.   Published online December 15, 2000
Purpose : Infantile transient methemoglobinemia(ITM) may develop in association with infectious diarrhea without exposure to any toxic oxidizing agents. We observed that the number of ITM associated with infectious diarrhea have increased at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital (GNUH), located in the western area of Kyungnam province during the last 4 years. To determine whether this phenomenon was similarily observed...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(4):507-512.   Published online April 15, 1995
Purpose : Drining of Nitrate-contaminated water has been the most common cause of acquired methemoglobinemia. We had cyanotic infant diagnosed as methemoglobinemia caused by feeding with powdered formula mixed with nitrate-contaminated ground water. Methods : We had done epidemiologic investigation to identify the cause of an infant's methemoglobinemia. Analysis of ground water and blood test of involved family members and neighbors...

Heng Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(3):416-421.   Published online March 15, 1994
methemoglobinemia is an uncommon clinicl problem generally caused by inherited disorders of hemoglobin metabolism or environmental toxicity from oxidizing agents. Since methemoglobin has no oxigen carrying capacity, patient with severe methemoglobinemia may have dangerous hypoxia even when arterial oxygen tension is normal. Degree of exposure to oxidants which are benign for older individuals may produce severe methemoglobinemia in newborns. Acidosis without...

Clinical Observation of Dds Induced Methemoglobinemia.
Hee Seon Auh, Kwan Hwooy Cho, Kir Young Kim, Duk Jin Yun, Sook Pyo Kwon
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1983;26(3):257-264.   Published online March 31, 1983
Various compounds activate the oxidation of hemoglobin. These include nitrites, sulfonamides, aniline derivatives, chlorates, quinones, acetanilid and phenacetin. The striking offender has been DDS in infancy and childhood who live in Kangwon Do, Korea. The common untoward effects of DDS are hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia. This clinical study was carried out for analysis on 57 cases which were diagnosed as DDS induced methemoglobinemia at...
