Pseudoporphyria due to Naproxen:A cluster of 3 cases

Abstract: Pseudoporphyria is a photo-induced blistering disorder with increased skin fragility, caused among others by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Lesions heal with scarring and milia. Porphyrin screen studies are normal in this disease. Histology and immunofluorescence resembles porphyria cutanea tarda. In this report we describe a cluster of three cases of naproxen-induced pseudoporphyria, and review briefly previously reported cases induced by naproxen.

“…Zusätzlich können oft erhöhte Transaminasen, Eisenspiegel und Eisenspeicher (Ferritin) festgestellt werden [1]. logie keine Aktivitätsminderung der Uro-D [14,15,16]. Als Auslöser der PCT werden die Disposition in Kombination mit einem Porphyrinogen (vorwiegend Alkohol, Östrogene, Eisen und weitere chemische Fremdstoffe), welches eine katalytische Hemmung der Uro-D in der Leber auslösen kann, angesehen [2,3].…”
