  • A study was conducted to measure the activity of NADH-methemoglobin reductase (NADH-metHb-R) in red blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets of a two-year-old girl with congenital methemoglobinemia and central nervous system damage.
  • The findings enabled the diagnosis of a rare condition characterized by a widespread deficiency of NADH-metHb-R.
  • Control subjects were also included in the study for comparison purposes.

Article Abstract

Determination of the NADH-methemoglobin reductase (NADH-metHb-R) activity in red cells, lymphocytes and platelets of a two year old Polish girl with congenital methemoglobinemia and severe damage of the central nervous system, as well as in control subjects, was performed. The results permitted us to diagnose a rare case of the generalized deficiency of the NADH-metHb-R.
