Food Preservative Induced Methemoglobinemia: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Diseases caused by food preservatives is an underrated area of study. Acquired methemoglobinemia is one such rare disease caused by nitrates. We here present one such case which presented after eating chinese food. As the presentation mimiced many other diseases, a thorough history and knowledge of methemoglobinemia helped us in reaching a diagnosis. Slightest delay in diagnosis and management could be fatal for the patient. Growing demand for chinese food is promoting unchecked use of food preservatives by many food vendors. Reporting of such cases is an appeal to health administration to keep a check on use of food preservatives.
