Résumé

Haemolysis and methaemoglobinaemia (MetHb) are rare metabolic complications that can occur in Alkaptonuria (AKU), for which there is no curative treatment. Presented is a case of a man who had AKU, and serves as a reminder of life-threatening complications that can occur with haemolysis and MetHb. This case presents an opportunity to revisit important considerations relating to the investigation and treatment of haemolysis and MetHb with a view to raising awareness, and in doing so hopefully reducing the uniformly fatal outcome. Additionally it is proposed that treatment of haemolysis and MetHb with nitisinone is considered as a potentially lifesaving treatment as it is believed that reducing the concentration of circulating homogentisic acid will reduce oxidative stress.
