Pseudoporphyria from nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
Pseudoporphyria is a condition in which skin fragility and blistering typical of cutaneous porphyria are associated with normal porphyrin metabolism. Naproxen has recently been described as a cause for drug-induced pseudoporphyria and eight examples of this are reported. We also report instances from ketoprofen and diflunisal.
