Entire Body System

  • Lymphadenopathy

    There was no pallor, icterus, cyanosis, lymphadenopathy, head lag, respiratory distress, pungent odor of the organophosphorus compounds, flaps, or altered mental status. [mjmsr.net]

Gastrointestinal

  • Nausea

    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]

    Patient complained of epigastric discomfort and nausea. She did not have any vomiting, loss of consciousness, or seizures while being transferred to the hospital. [mjmsr.net]

    In normal individuals methaemoglobin level must be greater than 10% to be clinically recognized and only mild symptoms, headache, fatigue and nausea occur at level of 20-30% [4]. [jpgmonline.com]

Neurologic

  • Headache

    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]

    These cases have been characterized by marked cyanosis, sometimes accompanied by vertigo and weakness, digestive disorders, headache and somnolence. [jamanetwork.com]

    Eighteen hours after admission he was fully conscious but started having headache and occasional vomiting. Eight hours later, he became pale, sick, drowsy and had a seizure. [indianpediatrics.net]

    She was then taken to a local hospital where she presented with recurrent vomiting, headache, and light-headedness. She had a gastric lavage done and started on supportive treatment with intravenous fluids and intravenous paracetamol. [ijabmr.org]

Treatment

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]

Plan of management is based upon the principles of decontamination along with symptomatic and supportive treatment. lue is the drug of choice (antidote) for the treatment of acquired (toxic) ]. [documents.tips]

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]

Prognosis

Younger age indicated a better prognosis. The absence of oculovestibular, oculocephalic reflexes, pupillary reflexes and / corneal reflexes suggests, poor outcome. The patient with low coma score of 3 to 4 had poorer prognosis. [japi.org]

Prognosis The prognosis of mild cases of methemoglobinemia is very favorable. In severe cases, the prognosis is determined by the degree of anoxic end-organ damage. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology

Abstract Clinical and epidemiological information was collected on 1033 cases of poisoning which occurred during a period of 18 months. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Prevention

It is also important to take care of the secondary cycling of nitrobenzene from body stores to prevent secondary recurrence of symptoms in patients after heavy exposure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Immediate identification based on clinical features, odour of the compound with supporting evidence of increased methaemoglobin levels will help in a timely intervention thus preventing fatal outcome. [ijmrhs.com]

The importance of early identification of the compound on the basis of clinical suspicion corroborative with methemoglobin levels with timely intervention is required to prevent fatal outcome (Agrawal et al., 2011). [journalcra.com]
