Porphyria cutanea tarda and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Porphyria cutanea tarda and Sjogren's syndrome*

Porphyria cutanea tarda is prevalent in connective tissue disease, common in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the co-existence of primary sjogren's syndrome and porphyria cutanea tarda is rare and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a case of porphyria cutanea tarda associated with primary sjogren's syndrome.

Increased photosensitivity? Case report of porphyria cutanea tarda associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.

The association of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare. Systemic lupus erythematosus, of complex pathophysiology and pleomorphic clinical manifestations, is similar to PCT regarding photosensitivity. One finding that can differentiate both diseases is the presence of cutaneous blisters, which are rare in SLE, but characteristic of PCT. We report one case...

Coexistence of a systemic lupus erythematosus and porphyria cutanea tarda: case successfully improved by avoidance of sun exposure.

Porphyria Cutanea Tarda with Constrictive Pericarditis: A Rare Association

Porphyria cutanea tarda(PCT) is characterised by photosensitivity and bulla formation on photoexposed parts which heals with scaring and pigmentation. PCT is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus, lupus erythematosus and hepetitis C virus infection. We are reporting and Indian patient of PCT associated with pericarditis which is very rare.

Porphyria cutanea tarda, dermatomyositis and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in virus C infection.

Virus C infection has been associated with a broad spectrum of extrahepatic diseases such as essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, membranous glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. The etiologic role of virus C has also been observed in some neoplasms such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the monoclonal gammapathies. Many studies also support the link between thi...
