		Congenital Erythropoietic Porphyria (Gunther's Disease) This type is the rarest of the porphyriasabout 70 cases have been reported (Marver and Schmid).
		In porphyria cutanea tarda it is postulated that the diseased liver is unable to reduce coproporphyrin and uroporphyrin to the respective porphyrinogens, and so coproporphyrin and uroporphyrin accumulate and are excreted in large amounts.
		In spite of the fact that lead intoxication is often accompanied by decreased erythrocyte survival, indicating hemolytic disease, the excretion of porphyrins is, not related to erythrocyte destruction and hemolytic breakdown.

		For some diseases they are the only therapy, and in other diseases they are only employed when front-line therapies have failed or the disease is very aggressive.

		For other diseases, stem cell treatments may effect a cure, but the optimum dosage and usage of the stem cells is still under investigation.

	Porphyrias
		Porphyrias are inherited as autosomal dominant traits, except for Gunther's disease, which is an autosomal recessive trait, and toxic-acquired porphyria, which usually results from lead ingestion or lead exposure.
		With Gunther's disease, porphyrins are found in the urine, especially uroporphyrin I. Treatment
		Depending on the type of porphyria, treatment may include the administration of beta carotene to reduce photosensitivity, chlorpromazine I.V. to treat mild abdominal discomfort, meperidine to treat severe pain, levulose I.V. to increase carbohydrate intake, and hemin (an enzyme inhibitor derived from processed red blood cells) to suppress hepatic ALA and porphobilinogen.

		Many of the historic accounts indicate that family members living in close association became infected with the disease before or soon after the death of the "vampire." Tuberculosis is notorious for being transmitted between individuals of different generations living under crowded conditions, a situation common in rural 19th century New England farming communities (Hawke, 1988).

	Porphyria Information
		The Porphyrias are a group of diseases characterized by the over production of porphyrin compounds and their precursors.
		Each specific abnormality in the pattern of excretion of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors is caused by a reduction in the level of one of the enzymes of the heme synthetic pathway.
		Because of their striking clinical manifestations, and their readily visible urinary chemical markers, and their familiar mode of inheritance, the porphyrias were among the earliest diseases to be defined as inborn errors of metabolism.
