Acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption and failure to thrive as presenting signs of cystic fibrosis

Daniel Zedek et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2008 Feb.

Abstract

We describe a female infant with an acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption as the presenting sign of rapidly fatal cystic fibrosis. The patient had growth retardation, developed an erythematous eruption unresponsive to oral zinc, and finally a generalized erosive dermatitis with associated edema, anemia and hypoproteinemia.
