摘要
A 53-yr-old man, known to have had AIDS for 6 months, developed the clinical signs and symptoms of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) preceding deterioration of his illness. Urinary porphyrin analysis confirmed the diagnosis of PCT. At the time the cutaneous blistering and scars developed, he was taking zidovudine and fluconazole. Reviewing the literature suggested that association of the two disorders is not purely coincidental. Anaemia, due to chronic immune activation and therapeutic options in the light of AIDS, could play an important role in the development of PCT. We recommend analyzing the urine for porphyrins in HIV-positive patients who have chronic photosensitivity of the skin.
