What is the difference between paraerythropoietic porphyria and erythropoietic porphyria?
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. Erythropoietic porphyria is in most cases a very severe disease starting in neonates, in most instances. A disease named erythropoietic protoporphyria is less severe, but begins also in childhood. The main symptom of both diseases is intolerance of sunlight that induces pain and/or blisters in sun-exposed skin.

Porphyria is a metabolic disorder and is genetic. It is one of the acute porphyrias and cutaneous porphyria are also found within this condition.
