Symptoms of acute poisoning include headache, drowsiness, nausea, ataxia, cyanosis, and, in extreme cases, respiratory failure. Chronic exposure to nitrobenzene may cause headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and anemia.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
The symptoms and signs of poisoning are nausea, vomiting, prostration, intense gray blue cyanosis, convulsions, and coma (Sollmann). As with other benzene derivatives, there is a direct toxic effect FULL TEXT[annals.org]

[…] oximetry is inaccurate in determining oxygenation levels in toxic patients. [7] In toxic doses, patients will have acute symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and headache followed by dyspnea, tachycardia, arrhythmias, shock, seizures, altered sensorium, and stupor[ijabmr.org]
This was manifest in our patient as stupor, tachycardia, hypotension and respiratory depression. Methaemoglobin is a dark pigment that causes venous blood to appear chocolate brown. Bubbling oxygen through it does not change the colour.[docslide.com.br]

Important factors in treatment are discussed. These include, gastric lavage, the administration of methylene blue and exchange transfusion. The possibility of a late haemolytic reaction being a complication of methylene blue treatment is mentioned.[unboundmedicine.com]
Methylene blue and exchange transfusion were the therapeutic methods applied in the treatment of the methemoglobinemia. Forty-eight hours after ingestion, a blood sample was collected in ICU and sent to our laboratory.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
