Abstract:
One patient with acrodermatitis enteropathica complicated by hypertension is presented. The pathogenesis of the markedly elevated blood pressure is unknown. The acrodermatitis healed completely on zinc therapy and parallel to this improvement the hypertension could easily be controlled with a gradually decreased antihypertensive drug dosage.
