Abstract
Acrodermatitis enteropathica is an uncommon disease caused by hereditary or
acquired zinc deficiency. It is characterized by a triad of alopecia, diarrhea and acral
and periorificial dermatitis. It is treated with Zinc supplementation. We report a
31-year-old indigent and drug addict female with a cutaneous-mucous syndrome
characteristic of acrodermatitis enteropathica. She had a positive clinical evolution
after Zinc supplementation.
