Plasma zinc levels in patients of both sexes suffering from an heterogeneous group of dermopathies were examined and compared with those in patients suffering from psychiatric-neurologic pathologies, in which recent literature has also suggested the role of low zinc levels. The results of the study show a prevalence of effective zinc deficiency in 9.2% of dermatologic patients and 3.9% of neurologic patients, as well as low plasma zinc levels with a different mean, mode and s.d. in comparison to other patients in the control group. These results were statistically significant. The findings are discussed and compared with those reported in the literature.
对患有多种皮肤病的男女患者的血浆锌水平进行了检测，并与患有精神神经疾病的患者进行了比较，近期文献也表明低锌水平在这类疾病中起作用。研究结果显示，9.2%的皮肤病患者和3.9%的神经疾病患者存在有效锌缺乏，且与对照组的其他患者相比，血浆锌水平较低，其均值、众数和标准差均有所不同。这些结果具有统计学意义。对这些发现进行了讨论，并与文献报道的结果进行了比较。
