Acrodermatitis Enteropathica-Like Eruption Associated with Parenteral Nutrition

Abstract: This is a case report of a patient with acrodermatitis enteropathica-like eruption that occurred during parenteral nutrition. The skin lesions were similar to those of acrodermatitis enteropathica, but there were no other major symptoms such as diarrhea and alopecia. It was noticed that the lack of linoleic acid in the diet might be the cause of lesions.

“…1 However, the importance of zinc and the relationship of this metal to diseases of the skin has only recently been recognized.2 5 The intro¬ duction of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the treatment of serious and debilitating disorders of the gastroin¬ testinal (GI) tract, or in the treatment of otherwise severely malnourished individuals, has emphasized the im¬ portance of trace elements in human physiology.8 Total parenteral nutri-tion allows the investigator to define precisely the role of dietary factors. It further allows for quantitative control of metabolic studies, particularly in relation to specific trace elements.…”
