Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is probably underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness. Previously, it was assumed that PP primarily affected Japanese females; however, more cases are reported worldwide, and the pathogenesis is still not completely understood. In this case report, we present two healthy Danish siblings, who developed PP approximately 2 weeks after starting a ketogenic diet, suggesting that both increased levels of ketone bodies in the blood together with a genetic predisposition might play a role in the development of PP.
色素性痒疹(PP)可能因认识不足而诊断不足。以前,人们认为PP主要影响日本女性;然而,世界各地报告的病例越来越多,其发病机制仍未完全明了。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了两名健康的丹麦同胞,他们在开始生酮饮食约2周后患上了PP,这表明血液中酮体水平升高以及遗传易感性可能在PP的发病过程中起作用。
