A 62-year-old woman with a history of arthralgia developed sulfone syndrome while receiving dapsone 100 mg/day for 20 days. Fever, malaise, prominent rashes, hepatitis, eosinophilia and hemolytic anemia developed and she which required hospitalization. The patient's symptoms reversed following discontinuation of dapsone and administration of steroid (0.5 mg/kg). A case of sulfone syndrome and a brief review of the literature were presented.
