Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by an abnormal porphyrin metabolism and typical cutaneous lesions. Recently a strong association between PCT and hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been proposed. Studies in the south of Europe have shown high prevalences (53 to 91%) of HCV markers in patients with sporadic PCT. Six characteristic case stories are presented. We suggest routine hepatitis C serological testing in all patients with PCT, as HCV infection is a major predisposing factor for the disease.
迟发性皮肤卟啉症（PCT）是一种罕见的代谢紊乱疾病，其特征为卟啉代谢异常和典型的皮肤病变。最近有人提出PCT与丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）之间存在密切关联。欧洲南部的研究表明，散发性PCT患者中HCV标志物的患病率很高（53%至91%）。本文介绍了六个典型病例。我们建议对所有PCT患者进行常规丙型肝炎血清学检测，因为HCV感染是该疾病的主要诱发因素。
