- Authors
Boyd, Kevin P.; Andea, Aleodor; Hughey, Lauren C.
- Abstract
We present the case of an infant with presumed Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Through a history, physical, and histopathology, we were able to diagnose the patient with kwashiorkor. Physicians should be aware of this disorder, which is commonly thought of as a developing world problem, because it is increasing in incidence in industrialized nations because of changing dietary habits.
