Iron, genes, and viruses: the porphyria cutanea tarda triple threat.

Cutis - 1 Aug 2011

Van Meter Jonathan R, Tierney Kelly R, Pittelkow Mark R

Abstract excerpt

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a vesiculobulIous disorder often associated with estrogens, hepatitis C virus (HCV), alcoholism, hereditary hemochromatosis (HH), and human immunodeficiency virus. Hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced by the liver, has been associated with iron metabolism in 3 common precipitating factors for PCT: HCV, HH, and alcohol consumption. We present the case of a patient with erosions and...
