Abstract
We reported a case of severe atopic dermatitis with hypoalbuminemia and failure to thrive. A 8-months-old boy was admitted because of severe dermatitis. At 3 months of age he developed dermatitis and conventional treatment has been declined by the family. On admission he had two days history of diarrhea and his body weight was 6000g (-3.25SD). Serum albumin levels were 2.4g/dl. He was given intravenous albumin and intensive skin care with disinfectant and ointment was started. As a disinfectant, 10% povidone-iodine solution was used. His albumin reached to normal levels and he continued to gain weight normally after skin treatment.
