[Symptomatic zinc deficiency in a breast-fed infant].
Ugeskrift for Laeger 2017 October 10
Nutrition containing zinc is of special practical importance in infants and children. Perinatal zinc deficiency manifestations include erosive dermatitis, alopecia, diarrhoea, central nervous system dysfunction and immune system deficiency.

Blood tests showed low plasma levels of zinc and subsequent analysis showed reduced zinc levels in the breast milk.
