Growth failure due to protein loss in dermatitis

European Journal of Pediatrics
A AbrahamovS Freier

Abstract

A 10-month-old infant is described who suffered from extensive atopic dermatitis, failure to thrive, hypoalbuminaemia and oedema. Large amounts of sticky exudate were lost through the skin and were shown to be rich in albumin. As renal and intestinal loss of protein was excluded, the patient's condition was ascribed to the loss of albumin through the skin at a rate that out-stripped the synthesis of this protein. Treatment with steroids resulted in dramatic clearing of his dermatitis, and subsequent rapid correction of his hypoalbuminaemia, oedema and anaemia.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.
