Abstract
Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare disorder caused by zinc deficiency. The classic triad of symptoms includes perioral dermatitis, diarrhea, and alopecia. A rare cause of the acquired form is zinc deficiency due to total parenteral nutrition. Diagnosis can be challenging due to nonspecific symptoms. This paper presents a case of acrodermatitis enteropathica in a 5-month-old infant who had been on total parenteral nutrition since birth. Unlike the literature, the patient’s clinical improvement was observed with zinc spray and zinc cream treatment.

Abstract
Akrodermatitis enteropatika çinko eksikliğinin neden olduğu nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Klasik triadı perioral dermatit, diyare ve alopesidir. Kazanılmış formunun nadir bir nedeni total parenteral beslenmeye bağlı eksik çinko alımıdır. Belirti ve bulguları spesifik olmadığı için tanı koymak zordur. Biz bu makalede doğduğundan beri total parenteral beslenen 5 aylık bir hastada gelişen akrodermatitis enteropatika olgusunun literatürden farklı olarak çinko sprey ve çinko krem tedavisi ile görülen klinik iyileşmesini sunuyoruz.
