Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare genetic disease. The gene responsible for the disease is mainly on autosomes. It is a recessive genetic disease. For this disease, if you want to make a definitive examination, you can take blood to check the level of zinc ions. If the zinc in the plasma is lower than normal, combined with the patient's usual skin symptoms, this disease can be diagnosed. However, the patient can also undergo histopathological examination for further diagnosis. Under the microscope, the patient's skin can be seen to show dermatitis changes, generally presenting a subacute inflammatory reaction, which can also be diagnosed at this time.
