Low-dose sulfasalazine in a case of pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans

Pyodermatitis-pyostomatitis vegetans (PD-PSV) is a chronic pustular and vegetating mucocutaneous dermatosis. Long-term treatment with corticorsteroids is not recommended, especially for mild and moderate cases, because of side effects from chronic use. Dapsone represents a beneficial treatment option for PD-PSV; however, it has become an orphan drug in China. 1 Mehravaran M. Kemény L. Husz S. Korom I. Kiss M. Dobozy A.
