KID Syndrome: Report of a Case and Support for Its Reclassification as an Ectodermal Dysplasia

    TLDR KID syndrome should be reclassified as an ectodermal dysplasia.
    The document discussed a case of KID syndrome in a 23-year-old Hispanic woman, supporting its reclassification as an ectodermal dysplasia, as suggested by Caceres-Rios et al. The patient exhibited symptoms such as severe sensorineural hearing loss, diffuse alopecia, hyperkeratosis, and keratitis, aligning with the criteria for KID syndrome. Her condition was complicated by tendon contractures, susceptibility to infections, and growth delay. Treatments included topical agents like Tazorac gel and triamcinolone cream, which showed promise in managing symptoms. The case reinforced the notion that KID syndrome should be considered an ectodermal dysplasia due to the involvement of various ectodermal tissues. Despite the proposed reclassification to KED syndrome, the KID acronym was expected to remain in use due to its established recognition.
