    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Dapsone is a medication commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis.
    • Peripheral neuropathy is a potential adverse effect of certain medications.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old male patient developed peripheral neuropathy while undergoing dapsone therapy.
    • The neuropathy primarily affected median and ulnar nerves, indicating polyneuropathy.

    Findings:

    • Neurological examination confirmed polyneuropathy involving multiple peripheral nerves.
    • Discontinuation of dapsone treatment resulted in the resolution of the patient's neuropathy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of monitoring for neurological side effects during dapsone treatment.
  • Early recognition and cessation of the offending drug can lead to complete recovery from dapsone-induced neuropathy.
