- Abstract
Dapsone is a drug with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-parasitic activities, which was previously used almost exclusively for the treatment of leprosy. Dapson rarely induce oxidation of haemoglobin which overwhelms the activity of intrinsic red cell methaemoglobin reductase resulting in significant methaemoglobinaemia. Methylene blue and hemodialysis are considered as treatment options of metheamoglobinemia together with supportive treatment. Here in we present a case of methemoglobinemia due to intentional ingestion of 4 gr dapson.
