Abstract :
Dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome is a well established entity which has been reported in literature since the 1950 s. A unique case of dapsone syndrome which had a very prolonged course of eight months is reported with no similar precedence in literature. With the wide use of dapsone in many medical conditions, clinicians should be aware that dapsone can cause a prolonged clinical syndrome of dapsone hypersensitivity which might mimic other sinister conditions.
