Acrodermatitis dysmetabolica as a sign of methylmalonic aciduria decompensation.

ABSTRACT: Methylmalonic aciduria children must follow an adequate diet with low protein intake and should be regularly monitored to prevent complications. Although skin lesions like acrodermatitis enteropathica are rare in this disease, their appearance should be correlated with possible low plasma isoleucine level and it can be a sign of decompensation.
