Consider rare entity of sulfhemoglobinemia
Sulfonamides, sulfasalazine, phenazopyridine
Occupational exposure
Conventional co-oximerty misidentifies sulfhemoglobin as<unk> moglobin so diagnosis is suspected when patient does not respond to<unk> lene blue
Typically requires no treatment other than removal of offending agent
