ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The underlying mechanism involved in dapsone-induced mania remains unknown.METHODS:
We report the case of a 54-year-old man with a dapsone-induced mania.RESULTS:
The maximum of manic symptoms was correlated with the maximum of methemoglobinemia and mania decreased concomitantly with the methemoglobinemia level.LIMITATIONS:
This is a single case.CONCLUSIONS:
This case shows that dapsone-induced mania severity is correlated with methemoglobinemia level, leading for the first time to the hypothesis of a physiopathological mechanism by which dapsone could induce mania.Palavras-chave
