    Author: Arakawa T, Tamura T, Igarashi Y, Suzuki H, Sandstead HH.
    Journal: Am J Clin Nutr; 1976 Feb; 29(2):197-204. PubMed ID: 814805.
    Abstract:
    Zinc deficiency was observed in two infants receiving total parenteral alimentation for chronic diarrhea. An acrodermatitis enteropathica-like rash occurred in both of the infants. Staphylococcus aureus was cultured from the rash. Treatment with zinc resulted in rapid cure of the rash and a subsidence of other signs consistent with zinc deficiency.
