Summary A family in which 11 cases of acute intermittent porphyria were found in three consecutive generations has been studied. Evidence is presented that inheritance was by an autosomal dominant gene. The usefulness of the Watson and Schwartz test in such a study and in the diagnosis of acute cases is discussed. It is suggested that it be applied to all relatives of known acute porphyrics. The disease as seen in this family is identical clinically, genetically and biochemically with that found in Sweden, and quite distinct from porphyria cutanea tarda.

This rare inherited disease presents with abdominal pain, psychiatric symptoms and neuropathies. Because it may mimic an acute surgical (or lcss frequently, psychiatric) emergency, it is important in clinical practice. The complication of respiratory paralysis, with a mortality of over 90%, i s almost solely due to aggravation of an attack by drugs, usually barbiturates. It is therefore important to diagnose the disease in surgical practice before barbiturates are used f o r sedation or anesthesia.
