ABSTRACT
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is an autosomal dominant condition due to decreased activity of ferrochelatase. The disease is characterized by a wide range of photocutaneous changes and occasionally by liver disease. The level of protoporphyin is raised in erythkocytes and it may also be increased in the feces. We report herein a case of EPP present in a family which was diagnosed by a high free erythrocyte protoporphyrin (FEP) count.
