Abstract

TORRES LEON, J.M. et al. Porphyria cutanea tarda in an HIV-infected patient: secondary role or protagonist of the virus?. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2015, vol.71, n.1, pp.29-31. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712015000100005.

A suspicion about the association of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with type I or sporadic form of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) began a few years after the discovery of the virus. The pathogenesis of PCT in these patients is unclear and although majority of the patients have more than one underlying factor for the disease, it is considered that HIV itself is an independent risk element for its development. This communication describes the case of a patient with HIV infection in whom the diagnosis of PCT was established simultaneously.

Keywords : Porphyria cutanea tarda; HIV.
