Although several cases of severe hypoalbuminemia resulting from rice milk have been described in the past, today
the use of rice milk without nutritional counseling to treat eczema is still a continuing, poor practice. We describe a
kwashiorkor case in an infant with severe eczema exclusively fed with rice milk. It is well documented that rice milk
is not a sufficient protein source. Moreover, only a small portion of eczema is triggered by food allergy. In conclusion
this case raises the importance of managing dietary changes facing food allergies with responsibility for specialized
consensus among pediatricians, nutritionists, endocrinologists and allergists all of them specialist professionals.
