Abstract
Exfoliative dermatitis associated with hepatitis has been reported in leprosy patients taking dapsone in daily dosage of 200 mg daily or more previously. This report concerns a 40 year-old-female who developed exfoliative dermatitis and hepatitis six weeks after starting dapsone in daily dosage of 100 mg for treatment of leprosy. She responded dramatically to administration of corticosteroids.
