    Author: Tse S, Barrington K, Byrne P.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 1995 Sep; 12(5):331-2. PubMed ID: 8540935.
    Abstract:
    A term, 2500 g infant was circumcised at 2 days of age. The circumcision was uneventful, with no excessive bleeding. Analgesia was provided by prilocaine, 0.5 cc, and subsequently, the neonate developed methemoglobinemia. Alternatives to analgesia with prilocaine are discussed.
