[Acrodermatitis enteropathica-like changes in a patient with parenteral nutrition].
A patient on long term parenteral nutrition developed acrodermatitis enteropathica-like skin changes. Just as in the autosomal recessive disorder, acrodermatitis enteropathica, the lesions in our patient were caused by zinc deficiency. Replacement therapy with zinc led to rapid improvement.
