Area of Science:

  • Forensic Toxicology
  • Clinical Pharmacology

Background:

  • Dapsone is a synthetic antimicrobial agent used to treat leprosy and dermatitis herpetiformis.
  • Intentional self-poisoning with dapsone is rare but can lead to severe toxicity.

Observation:

  • A case of fatal dapsone overdose in a female medico is presented.
  • Clinical presentation and post-mortem chemical analysis findings are detailed.

Findings:

  • Chemical analysis confirmed dapsone as the cause of death.
  • The case highlights the potential lethality of dapsone in overdose scenarios.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering dapsone toxicity in suspected poisoning cases.
  • Reviewing management protocols for dapsone poisoning is crucial for clinical practice.
