Dapsone is widely used for a variety of infectious, immune and hypersensitivity disorders. However, the use of dapsone may be associated with a plethora of adverse effects, whose DRESS syndrome potentially deadly. We report the clinical case of a 22 years old woman who was treated by Disulone ? 100mg/day for lichen pigmentosus. 3 weeks later, she presented a DRESS syndrome with Dapsone, successfully managed by oral steroids.
