Paraerythropoietic porphyria does not exist in standard medical textbooks on porphyria. "Para" means beside. Apparently, this name should indicate that is something like erythopoietic porphyria.

The main symptom of both diseases is intolerance of sunlight that induces pain and/or blisters in sun-exposed skin.
How did porphyria get from one country to another country?
Porphyria is a general term for several genetic conditions that result from a lack of specific chemicals involved in the production of a chemical called heme.

Porphyria disorders are genetic, and so they can move from one country to another through natural human migration. There is no vector or infectious component.
