Fatal Keratitis Ichthyosis and Deafness Syndrome (KIDS)

Abstract
We report a case of KID (Keratitis, Ichthyosis, and Deafness) syndrome in which the patient died at the age of 2 months. Detailed histological study of the affected organs, particularly the inner ear and external auditory meatus, was performed. This case is the first in which previously described principles relating to the biology of the ear canal epithelium have been applied to a patient with skin disease affecting this area.
