In our study, we found methemoglobinemia prevalence in children is low, there is a low frequency of G6PD testing despite methylene blue hemolysis risk, and subjects appeared to be treated similarly despite a low functional hemoglobin. These findings highlight the continued critical nature of this disease and may highlight opportunities for education aimed at improving care in children diagnosed with methemoglobinemia, particularly related to G6PD testing.
