Abstract:
Observations are reported carried out on the course and treatment of enteropathic acrodermatitis in 14 children. In the children the characteristic clinical picture before treatment was associated with low serum zinc level. Determination of serum zinc level during the treatment with zinc sulphate is without decisive importance for the selection of maintenance doses and the drug must be taken often during many years. In the choice of the therapeutic dose the clinical effects should be taken into account, and the dose may not be so high that it would normalized serum zinc level.
