An acute porphyria attack is characterized by a urine porphobilinogen (PBG)-to-creatinine ratio =10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and the presence of =2 porphyria manifestations (involving the visceral, peripheral, autonomic, and/or central nervous systems) persisting for >24 hours in the absence of other likely explanations. Onset of acute attacks typically occurs in the second or third decade of life. Acute attacks are more common in women than men. Although attacks in most individuals are typically caused by exposure to certain endogenous or exogenous factors, often no precipitating factor can be identified. The course of acute porphyria attacks is highly variable in an individual and between individuals. Recovery from acute porphyria attacks may occur within days; however, recovery from severe attacks that are not promptly recognized and treated may take weeks or months. The five categories of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), caused by a heterozygous HMBS pathogenic variant, are based on the urine PBG-to-creatinine ratio and occurrence of acute attacks. Active (symptomatic) AIP: An individual who has experienced at least one acute attack within the last two years. Symptomatic high excreter: Urine PBG-to-creatinine ratio =4 times ULN and no acute attacks in the last two years but chronic long-standing manifestations of acute porphyria. Asymptomatic high excreter: Urine PBG-to-creatinine ratio =4 times ULN and no acute attacks in the last two years and no porphyria-related manifestations. Asymptomatic AIP: Urine PBG-to-creatinine ratio <4 times ULN and no acute attacks in the last two years but has had =1 acute attack in the past. Latent (inactive) AIP: Urine PBG-to-creatinine ratio <4 times ULN and no acute porphyria-related manifestations to date.

- Disease or Syndrome
Immunodeficiency-58 is an autosomal recessive primary immunologic disorder characterized by early-onset skin lesions, including eczematous dermatitis, infectious abscesses, and warts, recurrent respiratory infections or allergies, and chronic persistent infections with candida, Molluscum contagiosum, mycobacteria, EBV, bacteria, and viruses. Some patients may have gastrointestinal involvement, including inflammatory bowel disease, EBV+ smooth muscle tumors, and esophagitis. Immunologic analysis shows defective T-cell function with decreased Treg cells and deficient CD3/CD28 costimulation responses in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. B-cell function may also be impaired (summary by Wang et al., 2016 and Alazami et al., 2018).
