Brief Summary: Primary To compare the toxicity of daily versus weekly dapsone in HIV-infected infants and children to study the pharmacokinetics of orally administered dapsone in HIV-infected infants and children

Secondary To obtain information on the rate of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia PCP breakthrough in children receiving two different dose regimens of dapsone

Prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia PCP is recommended for all HIV-infected children considered to be at high risk Approximately 15 percent of children are intolerant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole the first choice drug for PCP prophylaxis Since many children are also unable to take or tolerate aerosolized pentamidine dapsone is a second choice for PCP prophylaxis The most favorable dose regimen for dapsone has not been established
Detailed Description: Prophylaxis for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia PCP is recommended for all HIV-infected children considered to be at high risk Approximately 15 percent of children are intolerant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole the first choice drug for PCP prophylaxis Since many children are also unable to take or tolerate aerosolized pentamidine dapsone is a second choice for PCP prophylaxis The most favorable dose regimen for dapsone has not been established

Ninety-six HIV-infected infants and children who are intolerant to trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole TMP SMX are randomized to receive oral dapsone in a lower dose once daily or at a higher dose once weekly Treatment continues until the last patient enrolled has received at least 3 months of therapy Blood samples are drawn between weeks 4 and 8 at weeks 12 and 24 and every 3 months thereafter during dapsone administration
