| 英文描述 | Administration of methylene blue to cats can cause Heinz body anemia. The source is often urinary antiseptics which contain this chemical, and the history is important in the diagnosis. There is evidence of hemolytic anemia in association with Heinz bodies, and the treatment is that usually used in hemolytic anemia, including transfusion if necessary (Quinley). The methylene blue stains the skin, urine and feces dark blue or purple. Ingestions of onions by cat can cause Heinz body formation as well, but clinical anemia has not been reported (Robertson et al.). |
