Treatment of relapsing polychondritis with dapsone

Abstract

Three patients with relapsing polychondritis were treated successfully with dapsone. Mounting evidence suggests an immune-related pathogenesis for relapsing polychondritis. Dapsone may be effective in certain immune-related diseases because of its inhibition of lysosomal enzymes.
