Porphyria
Of all the disorders and diseases even loosely linked to vampirism, the most bizarre must be porphyria. It is rare hereditary blood disease; its symptoms so closely match the myths associated with our modern conception of vampirism it?s eerie. A victim of porphyria cannot produce heme, a major and vital component of red blood. Today, this disease is treated with regular injections of heme into the body. However, as little as fifty years ago, this treatment was unavailable and the disease unknown. In the past, a porphyria sufferer would show symptoms that include:

Extreme sensitivity to sunlight
Sores and scars that break open and will not heal properly
Excessive hair growth
Tightening of skin around lips and gums (which would make the incisors more prominent)

This disease would likely cause the victim to only go out at night, in order to avoid the painful rays of the sun. In addition, while garlic stimulates the production of heme in a healthy person, it would only cause the symptoms of porphyria to become more painful and severe.
