Dapsone Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DHS) occurs in approximately 2% of leprosy patients in Nepal. DHS and other adverse effects of dapsone lead to withdrawal of the drug.METHODSWe reviewed the notes of patients who had dapsone withdrawn from their multi-drug therapy (MDT) following an adverse reaction to the drug between 1990 and 2007.RESULTS105 patients were identified from the database and 67 had a documented completion of a modified course of MDT. The majority were treated with rifampicin and clofazimine. All 36 individuals who were slit-skin smear positive had a satisfactory fall in their mean bacterial index. There were no cases of relapse.CONCLUSIONSRifampicin and clofazimine appear to be satisfactory treatment for both paucibacillary and multibacillary patients who have to have dapsone stopped because of severe adverse effects.
