I remember reading about a countess living in the mid-1500s-early-1600s, named Elizabeth Bathory*. Though not your typical bloodsucking vampire, she was convinced that blood was the elixir of life, so to speak, and was therefore convinced that bathing in blood would maintain her youthful appearance. Thus, she murdered hundreds of people, mostly young women, and bathed in their blood.
On a somewhat similar note, there are a couple rare diseases (Porphyria and Catalepsy) that gives you a physical characteristics to that of a vampire.

Porphyria is a rare disease characterized by irregularities in production of heme, an iron-rich pigment in blood. People with the more severe forms of porphyria are highly sensitive to sunlight, experience severe abdominal pain and may suffer from acute delirium...Some porphyria sufferers do have reddish mouths and teeth, due to irregular production of the heme pigment.

werent those people supose to eat non cooked steak and stuff to balance their iron level?
I've heard of a treatment in the past where they had to drink blood to restore balance (eating raw mean could well be part of that treatment). I'm not sure what the current treatment is, however.
