Enteropathic limb dermatitis syndrome

Enteropathic Acrodermatitis is a rare chronic skin disease. In 1936, it was first reported by Brandt, so it was called Brandt syndrome. In 1942, Danbolt and Closs were described in detail, so they are both called Danbolt-Closs syndrome. The main features of this disease are skin erosion, baldness, nail malnutrition and paronychia, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. The disease often occurs in infants from 3 weeks to 18 months.
