  • Title: [Erythropoietic porphyrias].
    Author: Timonen K, Nuutinen P, Kauppinen R.
    Journal: Duodecim; 2012; 128(12):1257-63. PubMed ID: 22822601.
    Abstract:
    Erythropoietic, i.e., myelogenous porphyrias include erythropoietic protoporphyria and the very rare congenital protoporphyria and X-linked protoporphyria. Of these, in Finland only erythropoietic protoporphyria has been diagnosed, in which pain and swelling in the skin upon sunlight exposure are the most typical symptoms. A high protoporphyrin level in erythrocytes and a typical peak in the plasma porphyrin spectrum lead to diagnosis.
