Three cases of porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) misdiagnosed as leprosy were seen between 1978 and 1984 at Kaduna, Nigeria. All three patients had been heavy drinkers of a native alcoholic beverage, "burukutu" as well as beer, for several years. Alcohol abstinence and oral chloroquine therapy produced satisfactory remission of the disease. This is believed to be the first report of cases of porphyria cutanea tarda from Nigeria.
1978年至1984年间，在尼日利亚卡杜纳发现了3例被误诊为麻风病的迟发性皮肤卟啉病（PCT）病例。所有3名患者多年来一直大量饮用当地酒精饮料“burukutu”以及啤酒。戒酒和口服氯喹治疗使病情得到了令人满意的缓解。据信这是来自尼日利亚的迟发性皮肤卟啉病病例的首次报告。
