    Author: Linakis JG, Shannon M, Woolf A, Sax C.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1989; 7(5):477-80. PubMed ID: 2607109.
    Abstract:
    Dapsone is a synthetic sulfone increasingly used in the treatment of a wide variety of dermatologic disorders. The case of a child with dapsone-induced recurrent methemoglobinemia is presented with a discussion of dapsone toxicity and its treatment. In addition, the diagnostic value of pulse oximetry in the presence of dysfunctional hemoglobins is discussed.
