- Title
LIGHT URTICARIA IN PORPHYRINURIA.
- Abstract
This article presents information about a research paper "Light Urticaria in Porphyrinuria," by R. Schmitz and W. Wagner. Porphyrinuria was suspected in a case of light urticaria on account of the presence of other symptoms such as severe constipation, migraine and minor epileptic manifestations. It was stressed that only the fourth examination of the urine revealed porphyrins. It is not claimed that urticaria of the light sensitivity type is another porphyrin disease but porphyrin present in urticarial patients may precipitate an attack.
