The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of EPP within the Slovenian population. Materials and methods: The patients were selected by routine examination of photosensitive patients and by studying hospital records. A quantitative method was used to assess protoporphyrin, with values larger than 530 nm/l considered elevated. Results: 32 EPP patients were detected, which allows us to estimate the prevalence of EPP in Slovenia at 1.75 per 100,000 inhabitantsTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
