[Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia as a cause of fever of undetermined origin (presentation of a case)].
The authors present the case of a patient hospitalized with the diagnosis of "fever of undetermined origin" (FUO) in whom the physical examination and laboratory tests (including a skin biopsy) showed that the child had anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. We study the differential diagnosis, the clinical findings, the histopathology and genetics of this entity.
