    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Dapsone is increasingly utilized for severe acne conditions like acne conglobata.
    • Growing enthusiasm for dapsone necessitates understanding its potential adverse effects.

    Observation:

    • Three patients developed jaundice during dapsone therapy.
    • The duration of dapsone treatment ranged from 3 to 36 weeks.
    • Jaundice presentation varied, with cholestasis in two patients and hemolysis in one.

    Findings:

    • Dapsone therapy can lead to significant hepatotoxicity and hematologic adverse events.
    • Jaundice, a serious side effect, occurred in a notable proportion of patients studied.
    • The specific mechanisms of jaundice included cholestasis and hemolysis.
