OBJECTIVE: To report a case of sulfhemoglobinemia in a patient receiving phenazopyridine for a urinary tract infection. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old white woman presented to the emergency department with complaints of fatigue and bluish discoloration of her body that had gradually progressed over the previous 6–8 weeks. About 4 months prior to presenting to the emergency department, she had started taking phenazopyridine, an over-the-counter medication for symptoms of dysuria. Because the… Expand
