Abstract
Dapsone is regarded as the treatment of choice for linear immunoglobulin A disease (chronic bullous disease of childhood). It is associated with both hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia. The hematotoxic effects are dose related and can result in significant hemolysis. We present a case of a patient with chronic bullous disease of childhood and alpha thalassemia trait. Complete resolution occurred on a standard dose of dapsone without significant hemolysis.
