  • Title: Acquired zinc deficiency in a breast-fed premature infant.
    Author: Connors TJ, Czarnecki DB, Haskett MI.
    Journal: Arch Dermatol; 1983 Apr; 119(4):319-21. PubMed ID: 6838237.
    Abstract:
    Zinc deficiency that was diagnosed at 14 weeks of age developed in a breast-fed premature infant. There was a rapid response to zinc supplements (20 mg/day) and therapy was stopped after three weeks without recurrent disease. The maternal breast milk had a low level of zinc and this could not be corrected by oral zinc supplements.
