Abstract
in English, French

In elderly or chronically ill patients, nutritional deficiencies are common and the presence of related skin lesions is not unusual. Recognition of such cutaneous involvement is important regarding the diagnosis essentially based on clinical elements. By using some clinical case reports, we will describe several pathologies related to nutritional deficiencies like scurvy, pellagra and acquired acrodermatitis enteropathica.

Dans nos populations de patients vieillissants ou atteints de maladies chroniques, les carences nutritionnelles sont fréquentes et la présence de manifestations dermatologiques associées n’est pas rare. La reconnaissance de telles atteintes cutanées est importante pour le diagnostic qui est essentiellement clinique. A l’aide de vignettes cliniques, nous allons discuter ici de pathologies carentielles comme le scorbut, la pellagre ainsi que l’acrodermatite entéropathique acquise.
