Abstract
- Symptomatic Zinc Deficiency occurs due to decreased supplimentation, increased consumption, and decreased bowel absorption of the zinc. We report the typical case of symptomatic zinc deficiency in a patient who received total parenteral nutrition for about 4 weeks due to chronic diarrhea. And after supplementation with oral zinc sulfate, the diarrhea stopped in a day and skin lesions disappeared completely within a week.
