Therapeutic strategies in adult patients with relapsing and/or refractory cutaneous #IgA #vasculitis (French multicenter study, n = 52)
◦ In adults with relapsing or refractory cutaneous IgA vasculitis, the highest short-term skin response rates were seen with #dapsone (82%), #glucocorticoids ± #colchicine/dapsone (73%), and conventional synthetic-DMARDs (i.e. azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil) (71%).
◦ Colchicine monotherapy was clearly less effective (57% response).
◦ Although dapsone had the highest response rate, it also carried the highest subsequent relapse rate (46%). Glucocorticoids-based regimens and colchicine had lower relapse rates.
◦ Seven patients received rituximab, including three as second- or third-line therapy. Among them, two achieved a partial response, while no response was observed in the remaining four patients.
◦ These findings suggest that dapsone appears to be an interesting and reasonable option for relapsing or refractory cutaneous IgA vasculitis in adults.

@davidcarr333 This was my 1st paper back in the 20th century. A case series of #dapsone and #primaquine causing #metHB in patients living with #HIV. Yes just get co-oximetry. https://t.co/6ULTdooLkD

11/Horowitz: 8th #Dapsone Study Published Sept
2023: Comparison of Shorter vs Longer
Pulse HDDCT in CLD/PTLDS & #Bartonella #ILADS #ILADS2023
10/Horowitz: #Dapsone dosage, not just treatment length, positively affected outcomes: 84 % showed improvement of symptoms, 32% had resolution of all active #Lyme symptoms post treatment for 3 months or longer, even if active #Babesia/#Bartonella was present #ILADS #ILADS2023
8/Horowitz: #Dapsone, as a single drug & in combo w/ doxycycline, as well as doxycycline + rifampin + dapsone, & doxycycline + rifampin + azithromycin + dapsone had the most significant effect in reducing mass/viability as well the protective Bb biofilm. #ILADS #ILADS2023
7/Horowitz: Four-drug combinations #dapsone + minocycline (+ cefuroxime) + azithromycin and dapsone + minocycline (+cefuroxime) + rifampin had the best activity against stationary phase B. burgdorferi in these sulfa drug combinations #ILADS #ILADS2023
2/Horowitz: 2x dose #dapsone combination therapy (DDD CT) has recently been published as an effective 8-week protocol for those suffering with CLD/PTLDS (45% - 58% efficacy); #Babesia and #Bartonella are playing a role in chronic symptomatology. #ILADS #ILADS2023
Have you been considering trying high-dose #dapsone to treat #LymeDisease ? Check out this video.

Here we are again 🙄 my meds have stopped working & I have another flare up of blisters, let’s hope these new ones do the trick 🤞🏼(3rd attempt now) #pemphigoid #cellcept #dapsone
#Dapsone #Tablets #Therapeutic indications:
1) As part of a multi-drug #regimen in the treatment of all forms of #leprosy.
2) Treatment of #dermatitis #herpetiformis and other #dermatoses.
3) #Prophylaxis of #malaria in combination with #pyrimethamine.
in patients with methemoglobinemia, pts are not necessarily anemic & oxygen saturation is discordantly low compared to the pO2.
Methylene blue is an appropriate acute intervention for methemoglobinemia caused by #dapsone.
ddx #Dapsone can cause methemoglobinemia of sufficient degree to cause hypoxemia & fatigue/weakness but methemoglobinemia does not lead to anemia. In this case: oxygen saturation was unremarkable.
G6PD deficiency in pt on dapsone can cause severe hemolysis. Should test for G6PD deficiency prior to using #dapsone
In people of color: Hemolysis is more common but mild
In Caucasians: hemolysis is less common, but more severe
#Dapsone-related #hemolysis in a patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase #G6PD deficiency given the anemia and high LDH.
@Lupusreference Very nice overview! Thanks!
I would add #mepacrine & #dapsone for difficult-to-treat skin disease
#cyclosporin can be a “magic bullet” in #SLE sometimes
#leflunomide can work in RA-like arthritis
