ABSTRACT
Although the mechanism of action remains obscure, dapsone
and its metabolites have shown to be effective in two kinds of
ailments: infections and chronic inflammatory diseases.
Dapsone is the drug of choice in dermatology for the treatment
of certain inflammatory disorders and various neutrophilic,
eosinophilic or autoimmune dermatoses.
