Özet

A 4-month-old boy was admitted for having diffuse eruption in the perianal region, legs, trunk hands, and face with failure to thrive, edema, hypoalbuminemia, and anemia. The patient was thought to have acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption due to malabsorption. The eruption completely resolved with enzyme supplement and proper nutrition and skin care.
