Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a rare congenital disorder owing to an abnormality with intestinal absorption and/or transportation of zinc. We describe two male siblings, who presented with evidence of both acute and chronic zinc deficiency, despite being diagnosed with AE very early in life. We wish to highlight the importance of sustained high-dose zinc supplementation and regular monitoring in AE cases. Proper counselling of parents about the need for life long supplementation and increasing requirements with age is essential.
肠病性肢端皮炎（AE）是一种罕见的先天性疾病，由于锌的肠道吸收和/或转运异常所致。我们描述了两名男性同胞，尽管他们在生命早期就被诊断出患有AE，但仍表现出急性和慢性锌缺乏的证据。我们希望强调在AE病例中持续高剂量补充锌和定期监测的重要性。向家长提供关于终身补充锌的必要性以及随着年龄增长需求增加的适当咨询至关重要。
