Dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia and hemolysis in a woman without G6PD deficiency presenting with idiopathic urticaria

Dapsone-induced methemoglobinemia and hemolysis in a woman without G6PD deficiency presenting with idiopathic urticaria

Background The appearance of bite cells associated with methemoglobinemia can be caused by oxidizing drugs such as dapsone in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency or high drug serum levels.
