Ng BKW et al. - To report a case of autonomic, neurological and neuromuscular instability following methylene blue infusion for parathyroidectomy; to advance the argument for a diagnosis of serotonin syndrome; and to consider this diagnosis in previous, unexplained reports of adverse reactions amongst patients undergoing parathyroidectomy using methylene blue...An interaction between methylene blue and serotonergic agents may give rise to the serotonin syndrome. Consideration should be given to avoiding methylene blue in patients taking serotonergic agents. The diagnosis should be considered in patients with autonomic, neuromuscular or neurological changes and should be managed accordingly
