The evidence of copper intoxication in these patients was circumstantial and retrospective; blood copper levels were not measured in either of them. We wish to report a case of methemoglobinemia in acute copper sulfate poisoning in a patient who came under our observation recently, with direct evidence of copper poisoning.A young man, aged 27 years, was...References1.
