Abstract
We presented here a case of acute nitrobenzene poisoning in which effective clinical evaluation and timely management in form of repeated intravenous methylene blue and blood transfusions played a vital role to save a life. It is very important to take care of patient who presented late after heavy exposure form the secondary cycling of nitrobenzene from body stores. Clinicians should be aware of this uncommon, but treatable and potential serious poisoning of nitrobenzene. Methemogobinemia can leads to high mortality but effective treatment with methylene blue is preferential.
