Skin lesions in acquired zinc deficiency due to parenteral nutrition
Dermatologica.
1978.
Abstract
The skin lesions seen in 10 patients who received parenteral nutrition during treatment of chronic enteropathy are described. All of these patients had a lowered serum zinc concentration. The skin lesions were similar to those seen in acrodermatitis enteropathica. After supplementation with zinc sulphate, the skin lesions disappeared completely. A decrease in the serum alkaline phosphatase level can be regarded as a sign of an impending zinc deficiency. Parenteral nutrition formulae should contain a sufficient amount of zinc.
