Abstract
Methaemoglobinaemia in a newborn is a rare cause of cyanosis. We report a case of a new born presented with cyanosis and with normal cardio-pulmonary system. He was diagnosed as methaemoglobinaemia due to persistent cyanosis despite administration of oxygen and arterial blood gas collection appeared chocolate brown in colour. As methaemoglobin report was in mild range (11.7%), he was treated symptomatically.
