A woman aged 35 years had a classical picture of acute intermittent porphyria. However, the diagnosis was only made after repeated clinical investigations by internists, gastroenterologists, gynaecologists and surgeons working at a university hospital, and after an unnecessary laparotomy. Recent data indicate that acute intermittent porphyria is not a very rare disease. It may run a serious invalidating and life-threatening course. Its manifestations vary and may lead to very different clinical pictures.
一名35岁的女性呈现出急性间歇性卟啉病的典型症状。然而，该诊断是在大学医院的内科医生、胃肠病学家、妇科医生和外科医生进行反复临床检查之后，以及在一次不必要的剖腹手术后才得以做出。最新数据表明，急性间歇性卟啉病并非十分罕见的疾病。它可能会经历严重的致残和危及生命的病程。其表现各异，可能导致截然不同的临床症状。
