The authors report two cases of neonatal hemolytic anemia without methemoglobinemia secondary to intraamniotic injection of 10 mg of methylene blue. Evolution was favourable without exchange transfusion. This emphasizes the importance of searching for a toxic origin in case of neonatal hemolytic anemia without apparent cause.

D008708 Methemoglobinemia The presence of methemoglobin in the blood, resulting in cyanosis. A small amount of methemoglobin is present in the blood normally, but injury or toxic agents convert a larger proportion of hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which does not function reversibly as an oxygen carrier. Methemoglobinemia may be due to a defect in the enzyme NADH methemoglobin reductase (an autosomal recessive trait) or to an abnormality in hemoglobin M (an autosomal dominant trait). (Dorland, 27th ed) Methemoglobinemias
