[Occurrence of HBs-antigen and anti-HBs in patients with porphyria cutanea tarda (author's transl)]. 1979

G Goerz, and H Uthemann, and R Lissner

Serum 63 patients with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) was examined for the presence of HBs-antigen and anti-HBs by the CombRIA-Au method. HBs-antigen was not detected in any of the examined blood samples. In contrast to these findings in 12 of the 63 PCT-patients (= 28 per cent), anti HBs was detected in the serum. The results showed that a high percentage of our PCT patients had been afflicted with an inapparent hepatitis B and were producing HBs-antibodies.

D011164 Porphyrias A diverse group of metabolic diseases characterized by errors in the biosynthetic pathway of HEME in the LIVER, the BONE MARROW, or both. They are classified by the deficiency of specific enzymes, the tissue site of enzyme defect, or the clinical features that include neurological (acute) or cutaneous (skin lesions). Porphyrias can be hereditary or acquired as a result of toxicity to the hepatic or erythropoietic marrow tissues.

D011166 Porphyrins A group of compounds containing the porphin structure, four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges in a cyclic configuration to which a variety of side chains are attached. The nature of the side chain is indicated by a prefix, as uroporphyrin, hematoporphyrin, etc. The porphyrins, in combination with iron, form the heme component in biologically significant compounds such as hemoglobin and myoglobin.
