Lab Reduced serum zinc due to impaired uptake. Management Oral zinc.acrodermatitis enteropathica Congenital zinc deficiency An AR condition characterized by dermatitis and diarrhea; the dermatitis affects the cheeks, elbows, knees, periorbital and perianal regions, and is accompanied by hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows and lashes; AE is associated with short stature, anemia, skin hyperpigmentation, hepatosplenomegaly, hypogonadism, poor wound healing, immune deficiency, recurrent bacterial and fungal infections due to immune defect Lab ↓ serum zinc due to impaired uptake Management Oral zincac·ro·der·ma·ti·tis en·ter·o·path·i·ca (ak'rō-dĕr'mă-tī'tis en'tĕr-ō-path'i-kă) A progressive hereditary defect of zinc metabolism in young children (onset, 3 weeks-18 months); often manifests first as a blistering, oozing, and crusting eruption on an extremity or around one of the orifices of the body, followed by loss of hair and by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal disturbances; relieved by lifelong oral zinc supplementation; autosomal recessive trait. acrodermatitis enteropathica A rare genetic skin inflammation (DERMATITIS), affecting mainly the extremities, with reddening, ulceration and pustule formation.
