Abstract

Two cases of suicidal dapsone ingestion are reported. These patients presented with marked cyanosis and had significant methaemoglobinaemia on admission. One patient also had acute psychosis and haemolytic anaemia. Both patients responded to intravenous methylene blue therapy and nasal oxygen inhalation and recovered without any sequelae.
