Medically Significant Hypersensitivity Reaction to Dapsone: A Case Report

The drug Dapsone is a component of the World Health Organization multidrug therapy being used against leprosy. Although it has shown a good efficacy during the years, a few subjects develop adverse drug reactions associated with dapsone .We report a case of a patient who was prescribed dapsone as part of multiple drug therapy for leprosy following which he developed Dapsone induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome (DHS). He was prescribed steroids with a tapering dose. His condition worsened after weaning of the oral steroids. He also developed steroid-induced diabetes which was stabilized using anti-diabetic drugs

Center for Economic Development and Administration :

Much of the data for this study has also been collected from various agencies and institutions. The best practical research design for this study was found to be the institution building model developed by Milton Esman. It provides the necessary framework for the orderly collection, classification and analysis of the data for the case study, namely: (a) institution; (b) linkages; (c) transaction.It can be concluded that between 1969 and 1975, CEDA has become established in the sense that it was a growing concern with a program, a staff, a set of clients, an acceptable identity and a stable supply of resources sufficient to enable it to continue. The findings of this study show that institutional leadership is one of the major and crucial factors in institution building and development. It also suggests that the institution builder of Nepal must be concerned with discovering what institutions are already there before making assumptions as to what new or additional institutions may be needed. Thus, it is often much easier to add a new program to an old institution, which is already established, than it is to create a new institution merely to have a new program.The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the roles of the Center For Economic Development and Administration (CEDA) in institution building and development in Nepal. The study was performed by a questionnaire containing a variety of items relating CEDA's present and future roles, its place and position, its programs and objectives, its relationship with government agencies, university, public corporations and private enterprises, was administered to a sample of one hundred in Kathmandu, Nepal. In addition, since formal interviews were difficult to coordinate in Nepal's political environment, informal meetings were also organized
