Abstract
A 7-month-old baby boy succumbed to death with a history of static weight gain since 4 months of age. Autopsy revealed florid skin lesions, evidence of malnutrition, pneumonia, and meningitis. Further testing isolated Streptococcus pyogenes in the blood culture. The skin lesions are highly likely due to the dermatosis in kwashiorkor and acquired zinc deficiency, complicated with bacterial infection and overgrowth of saprophytic fungal yeast cells.
