Abstract

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a group of disorders characterized characterized by faulty development of ectodermal structures including the skin, teeth, skin appendages, resulting in hypohi- drosis, hypotrichosis, and abnormal dentition. Here, we report a case of typical hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in a 16-month-old male who had unexplained recurring fever, hypohidrosis, hypotrichosis, anodontia, and characteristic facial features.
