ABSTRACT Acute intermittent porphyria is a rare disorder causing neurotoxic precursor accumulation and severe neurological complications. We report a case progressing to tetraplegia and respiratory failure with delayed diagnosis. Treatment with hemin and givosiran resulted in prevention of attacks and functional recovery, highlighting the importance of

European S2k guidelines on management of autoimmune blistering diseases in children and adolescents
Autoimmune blistering disorders (AIBDs) in children are rare, challenging to diagnose and treat and often require immunosuppressants. Until now, no paediatric care guidelines existed. The EADV Task Force for AIBDs has developed the consensus‐based recommendations, enabling physicians to adopt a uniform, tailored treatment strategy to improve outcomes ...

Feigning Acute Intermittent Porphyria
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal dominant genetic defect in heme synthesis. Patients with this illness can have episodic life-threatening attacks characterized by abdominal pain, neurological deficits, and psychiatric symptoms. Feigning

Blue LED Light Attenuates the Bacterial Bioburden in Chronic Wounds Transiently but Dose‐Dependently
ABSTRACT Phototherapy may improve chronic wound healing through different mechanisms. We have investigated whether escalating doses of blue LED light treatment (λ = 405 nm) impact the chronic wound microbiota. Twenty‐two patients with chronic wounds were sequentially assigned to a low dose (20 J/cm2, n = 7), medium dose (60 J/cm2, n = 8), or high dose (

Worsening abdominal pain leading to false laparotomy: a case of acute intermittent porphyria
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), one of the most severe types of acute hepatic porphyria, is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder of heme biosynthesis. We present a case of a 16-year-old girl who presented with severe abdominal pain, subjected to
