ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las manifestaciones dermatológicas en el momento del diagnóstico de fibrosis quística son infrecuentes. Objetivo: Describir el caso de una lactante con una presentación dermatológica no habitual de fibrosis quística. Caso Clínico: Lactante que a los 2 meses de edad presenta un mal incremento pondoestatural. A los 4 meses presenta exantema cutáneo, edema y pelo gris. Dentro de su estudio se evidencia hipoproteinemia y anemia, y se confirma el diagnóstico de fibrosis quística mediante el estudio genético. Las alteraciones dermatológicas se revirtieron completamente tras la instauración de la terapia de reemplazo con enzimas pancreáticas. Este es el segundo caso reportado de pelo gris en niños con esta enfermedad. Conclusión: En niños con malnutrición que desarrollan alteraciones de la piel y fanéreos debemos sospechar enfermedades metabólicas como fibrosis quística.
