Adverse reactions in leprosy patients who underwent dapsone multidrug therapy: a retrospective study.

CONCLUSION: The common dapsone ADRs present in leprosy patients were jaundice, exfoliative dermatitis and hemolytic anemia in MDT-treated patients. Patients could be cured by managing the dapsone ADRs effectively on time. Some patients may die of dapsone ADRs if clinicians fail to manage the side effects on time. PMID: 28721106 [PubMed]
