Anna Stepanova
American Hospital Dubai, UAETitle: Transient porphyrinemia in a neonate: A case report
Abstract
Phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia has rare complications. I report a case of phototherapy induced eruption in a neonate with transient porphyrinemia. Our patient received phototherapy due to hyperbilirubinemia secondary to hemolytic disease of the newborn. He developed a cutaneous rash in the light-exposed areas of his skin. Phototherapy induced eruption with a transient porphyrinemia is rare. Upon review of the literature, we found only 5 other cases of patients with phototherapy induced rash and elevated porphyrins reported. We compared the five other reported cases to our case, looking at drug exposure, age, and receipt of exchange transfusion.
