GlossaryAcrodermatitis Enteropathica

rare genetic disorder causing zinc absorption issues, leading to skin rashes

Acrodermatitis Enteropathica (AE) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the body's inability to absorb zinc properly, leading to severe zinc deficiency. This condition typically manifests in infants and young children with symptoms such as skin rashes, hair loss, and diarrhea. If untreated, it can lead to serious complications, but zinc supplementation can effectively manage the symptoms.
