| Leiner's d. |
a disorder of infancy characterized principally by generalized seborrhealike dermatitis and erythroderma, intractable, severe diarrhea, recurrent infections, and failure to thrive. The cause is unclear, but familial cases associated with a dysfunction of the C5 component of complement, which results in decreased phagocytosis of the patient's serum (opsonic activity), have been reported. Called also erythroderma desquamativum.
