Zinc deficiency: report of three cases.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica has been reported as the skin disorder due to the congenital disturbance of zinc absorption in the intestine. We report on three patients with skin eruptions that resembled acrodermatitis enteropathica. Two were thought to have resulted from intravenous hyperalimentation and the other from artificial feeding.
