[Simple measurement of skin chloride activity for diagnosis of cyste fibrosis (author's transl)].
Using a chloride-sensitive electrode the chloride activity was measured on the cleaned by unstimulated skin of cystic fibrosis patients.  The 2SD range did not exert 23 mVal in controls and was not lower than 29 mVAl in the patient.  Consequently an estimate chloride value above 25 mVal is regarded as suspective for the disease.  Confirmation of the result by means of a subsequent conventional pilocarpine test is essential.
