In adult with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), it has been known that steroids have been used as a first-line therapy. The therapy induced remission in more than 60% of patients. Here, we evaluated the results of dapsone for a steroid-resistant ITP patient. Further, dapsone has been reported to emerge as a safe and inexpensive therapy for chronic ITP. In this case, we showed a relationship between platelet count and grade of hemolysis by treatment with dapsone.
