Although it is commonly associated with agents such as dapsone and lidocaine, to our knowledge, no prior cases of methemoglobinemia associated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been reported. We report a case of methemoglobinemia suspected to be induced by rabeprazole in an elderly patient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient was an 82\u2010year\u2010old woman who developed progressive cyanosis and had elevated methemoglobin (MetHb) levels while on rabeprazole. Her MetHb levels decreased after rabeprazole discontinuation but again increased on drug reintroduction. Other medications and congenital causes were excluded, and the aforementioned temporal relationship suggested an association with rabeprazole.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PPIs may be associated with methemoglobinemia, although causality cannot be definitively established based on a single case. The chemical structure of rabeprazole, particularly the presence of an amino group, may contribute to oxidative processes. Clinicians should consider PPIs as a potential contributing factor in unexplained methemoglobinemia and promptly discontinue the suspected agent when appropriate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ams2.70130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,14]],"date-time":"2026-04-14T03:11:17Z","timestamp":1776136277000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A Case of Methemoglobinemia Suspected to Be Induced by Rabeprazole"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ryo","family":"Kawasaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chiaki","family":"Toida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Kamijo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayo","family":"Akita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masao","family":"Hattori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michitaro","family":"Ichikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Takayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Miyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9906-5861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenichi","family":"Nitta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1914-486X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Imamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine Shinshu University  Matsumoto City Nagano Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jen.2006.11.007","article-title":"Methemoglobinemia","volume":"33","author":"Camp N.
