  • Title: Dapsone Resistance in Leprosy Patients Originally from American Samoa, United States, 2010-2012.
    Author: Williams DL, Araujo S, Stryjewska BM, Scollard D.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2018 Aug; 24(8):1584-1585. PubMed ID: 30016255.
    Abstract:
    Skin biopsies from US leprosy patients were tested for mutations associated with drug resistance. Dapsone resistance was found in 4 of 6 biopsies from American Samoa patients. No resistance was observed in patients from other origins. The high rate of dapsone resistance in patients from American Samoa warrants further investigation.
