Abstract

Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a zinc deficiency disorder characterized by well-demarcated, erythematous, eczematous plaques in a periorificial and acral distribution. Hereditary and acquired forms have been described. We report a case of acquired acrodermatitis enteropathica secondary to alcoholism. Treatment of the underlying disorder and zinc replacement therapy resulted in rapid resolution of the condition.
