Delayed photosensitivity in a child with erythropoietic protoporphyria : a case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a genetically inherited disease that causes protoporphyrin accumulation in erythrocytes, skin, liver, bile, and stool. Clinically this manifests as photosensitivity with painful, edematous cutaneous porphyria. We present the case of a four-year-old boy with a delayed photosensitivity reaction to sunlight. In the evening following sun exposure, he would develop swelling and a violaceous rash on the dorsal surface of his hands and occasionally the helix of his ears. His reactions were severe, requiring morphine on more than one occasion prior to diagnosis. He later developed waxy depressed scars on his nose and cheeks. On laboratory investigation, both total and free protoporphyrin were elevated. Photosensitivity in EPP usually occurs minutes after sun exposure, but our patient had significantly delayed reactions. Genetic testing revealed mutation in the FECH gene that confirmed the diagnosis of EPP. Although rare, presentations of photosensitivity in the pediatric population should be carefully evaluated.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
