title: [Zinc deficiency syndrome as a side effect of chelating agents].
abstract: Zinc deficiency syndrome with acrodermatitis enteropathica-like skin changes developed in a 66-year-old patient during treatment of manganese poisoning with the chelating agents CaNa2-EDTA and Ca-trisodium-pentetate, which had reduced the serum-zinc level. The skin changes cleared up after oral administration of zinc aspartate.
