Acrodermatitis dysmetabolica as a sign of methylmalonic aciduria decompensation

Clin Case Rep. 2018 Apr 14;6(6):1048-1050. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1509. eCollection 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Methylmalonic aciduria children must follow an adequate diet with low protein intake and should be regularly monitored to prevent complications. Although skin lesions like acrodermatitis enteropathica are rare in this disease, their appearance should be correlated with possible low plasma isoleucine level and it can be a sign of decompensation.

Keywords: Acrodermatitis enteropathica‐like; isoleucine; metabolic disease decompensation.
