Acute Intermittent Porphyria Presenting with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Abdominal Pain and Seizures

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an acute neurovisceral porphyria caused due to inherited deficiency of porphobilinogen deaminase (also called hydroxymethylbilane synthase) (HMBS) in the heme biosynthesis pathway.

The “5L” framework of diagnostic reasoning: A stepwise scaffold to support clinician educators

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Diagnostic reasoning (DR) is a core clinical skill, yet its teaching remains variable. We introduce the “5L” framework as a bedside teaching scaffold that gives educators and learners a shared, stepwise set of prompts for DR during individual encounters. By asking, “What's Lethal? What's Likely? What's Logical? What's Lurking?

Acute Intermittent Porphyria Triggered by COVID‐19 Mimicking Guillain–Barré Syndrome: A Diagnostic Challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare heme biosynthesis disorder in which the accumulation of neurotoxic porphyrin precursors precipitates neurovisceral attacks. Intercurrent infections, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), may trigger or exacerbate AIP and complicate diagnosis, as clinical manifestations can resemble those of
