(1) The results revealed: 1) The measurement of local perspiration volume with this equipment provides objective data useful for the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis and hypo-(or an-) hidrosis and for the judgement of its grade; 2) in case of palmar hyperhidrosis, mental stimuli most strongly induced perspiration; and 3) the responses to mental arithmetic or hand grasping and the base-line stable time are reliable parameters for measurement of perspiration volume.
(2) Hidrosis was observed on the right side of the body in response to heat.
(3) To objectively evaluate perspiration volume, we tried to measure the perspiration volume from 6 cases of hyperhidrosis and 4 cases of hypo-(or an-) hidrosis using recently developed equipment for continuous recording of local perspiration volume.
(4) From a discussion of the literature on atrichia, the forms without involvement of teeth, nails and hidrosis, among which recessive inheritance prevails, are distinguished from each other.
