Summary A patient with the keratitis, ichthyosis and deafness (KID) syndrome is described. The patient had recurrent skin infections which led to complete scalp hair loss. The nails were dystrophic. Physical development was normal; however, his intelligence was subnormal. The erythro‐keratodermatous plaques over the face, trunk and extremities were characteristic and the skin in general was dry and hyperkeratotic. Palms and soles showed marked thickening with a stippled appearance.
