O-toluidine, a degradation product of the local anesthetic agent prilocaine, oxidizes hemoglobin and may cause methemoglobinemia. Normally, hemoglobin is comprised of 1% to 2% methemoglobin in the human body [1]. In this study, we presented a case of methemoglobinemia after local anesthesia with prilocaine, including clinical findings of respiratory distress in the early period.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOlgu Sunumu - Uluslararası - Kurum Öğretim ElemanıCase Report10.1016/j.ajem.2014.09.021334252881062-s2.0-84928204230Q1WOS:000353380800048Q2
