Familial porphyria cutanea tarda in a 7-year-old girl.
We report a case of familial porphyria cutanea tarda (FPCT) in a 7-year-old girl. The condition was exacerbated by low dose of hydroxychloroquin, but controlled by venesection. The favorable prognosis of FPCT should be further established by long-term prospective studies.
