Abstract
We report occurrence of severe methemoglobinemia in a patient on novel experimental anti-cancer drug, Triapine. Treatment with methylene blue led to massive hemolysis due to concomitant G6PD deficiency. We recommend that G6PD screening be done in high-risk populations prior to commencement of Triapine therapy.Entities:
