Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) is an asymptomatic papular eruption affecting the central area of the face. It runs a chronic course and can involute spontaneously with scarring. The treatment of LMDF has not been satisfactory despite the use of many different kinds of topical and systemic agents. In the early 1980s, Kumano et al. reported their experiences with this disease using dapsone; the efficacy of dapsone was described as excellent. With this report in mind, we have used dapsone(50-100mg/d) in 2 patients with LMDF, and a marked irnprovement or almost cure of the skin disease were recognized.

Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration of the skin (JLIS) is a well-known but poorly understood disorder. Some doubt still exists about whether it is a distinct disease or a variant of lupus erythematosus or, less commonly, polymorphous light eruption, cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia. An effective therapy is still unavailable for JLIS. We report a patient with JLIS which was successfully treated with dapsone and intermittent systemic glucocorticoid therapy.

Fifteen hundred seventy-one leprosy patients registered in the leprosy Mission Hospital from Mar. 1957 to Sep. 1980 were investigated for dapsone resistance by clinical and bacteriological aspects. The results are as follows: There were 29 suspected dapsone-resistant cases out of a total 1571 registered leprosy patients (1. 85%), 26 of 650 of lepromatous type(4. 00%), and 3 of 164 of borderline type (l. 83%). In 1969, we observed the first case if suspected dapsone-resistant leprosy. Since then, suspected dapsone-resistant cases increased and we observed as many as 8 cases in 1977. But frequency of cases has decreased since 1978. (countinued..)

Erythema elevatum diutinum(EED) is a rare chronic skin disease characterized by red, purple, and yellowish papules, plaques, and nodules that are usually distributed acrally and symmetrically over extensor surface. It is characterized histologically by a leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Although no treatment has shown a complete response, dapsone is reported to be effective to EED. We report a rare severe case of EED with good response to dapsone treatment.
