Abstract
Symptomatic zinc deficiency developed in an exclusively breast-fed, full-term infant. Her older brother had also developed zinc deficiency while being exclusively breast-fed. Breast milk zinc concentrations were low throughout lactation, and this inadequacy is the likely cause of the deficiency in both infants.Keywords
