Both scores are a useful tool in the evaluation of children with possible AA. For extreme values of scores, the results really ensure their use in the emergency department. The AUS can help on decision making for intermediate values.

Percutaneous poisoning is quite rare, and in particular, topical lactic acid poisoning is even more so. We report a young girl with lamellar ichthyosis and symptoms of poisoning, with clinical signs of irritability, agitation, myoclonia, and difficulty in walking, accompanied by lactic acidosis as a result of the more frequent than recommended application of emollients containing lactic acid. The clinical symptoms resolved upon discontinuation of the topical treatment. Among the possible causes of metabolic acidosis, health care providers should be aware of the possibility of percutaneous poisoning.
