摘要
This paper presents the results of DNA sequencing to detect resistance to dapsone in 91 patients with leprosy in Sudan. Various mutations were thought to be present, but it is now apparent that there were technical problems in the use of the alignment software; on further review, it appears that no mutations were present in the samples and that no dapsone resistance was found. Dapsone resistance is less important nowadays, because of the use of multi-drug therapy (MDT), but it is important that monitoring for drug resistance, especially to rifampicin, continues. Both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and a number of laboratories around the world can provide technical support for this, on request.
