A Rare Case of Prurigo Pigmentosa in a Danish Sibling Couple

Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is probably underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness. Previously, it was assumed that PP primarily affected Japanese females; however, more cases are reported worldwide, and the pathogenesis is still not completely understood. In this case report, we present two healthy Danish...

description Prurigo pigmentosa (PP) is probably underdiagnosed due to lack of awareness. Previously, it was assumed that PP primarily affected Japanese females; however, more cases are reported worldwide, and the pathogenesis is still not completely understood. In this case report, we present two healthy Danish siblings, who developed PP approximately 2 weeks after starting a ketogenic diet, suggesting that both increased levels of ketone bodies in the blood together with a genetic predisposition might play a role in the development of PP.
