Abstract

Trichohepato-enteric syndrome (THE-S) is a disease characterized by severe infantile diarrhea, failure to thrive, facial dysmorphism, woolly hair, and immune or hepatic dysfunction. We report the case of a boy who presented in early infancy with chronic watery diarrhea, dependent on total parenteral nutrition, along with other features of THE-S.
