ABSTRACT
Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by alopecia, acral and periorificial dermatitis and gastro-intestinal disturbances such as diarrhea. This syndrome is caused by malabsorption of zinc. The mean serum zinc level is usually low in untreated patients and the oral administration of zinc sulfate can clear the skin lesions and other symptoms. We report a three-month-old female baby with acrodermatitis enteropathica showing a normal serum zinc level in whom diapnosis was confirmed by typical skin lesions, clinical symptoms and response to oral zinc therapy.
