Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Dermatology and Venerology Summary: Background: Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units with multifactorial pathogenesis. Nutritional factors such as vitamins and minerals may be involved in the pathogenesis of acne. Objectives: The aim of the present study is to clarify a possible relation between acne vulgaris and serum levels of zinc, copper, magnesium and iron. This study aimed also to detect a possible effect of acne severity on the serum concentrations of zinc, copper, magnesium and iron. Results: The serum iron was significantly lower in acne patients than in healthy controls. The serum zinc, copper and magnesium concentration in acne patients did not differ significantly from the healthy controls. Acne severity (mild, moderate and severe) didn{u2019}t affect on the serum iron, zinc, copper or magnesium levels. Conclusion: Serum iron level is lower in acne patients. So, iron may play a role in the pathogenesis of acne and further studies are needed to clarify such a relation. No significant difference in serum zinc, copper or magnesium levels between acne patients and healthy controls
