title: [Sweat-gland function in patients with X-linked ichthyosis].
abstract: Literature reports that patients affected by X-linked ichthyosis (XLI) have a reduction of sweat glands and a decrease of sweat production. The sweat physiology of 28 patients, 14 with XLI, 7 with lamellar ichthyosis, 7 with dominant ichthyosis and 28 control subjects were examined with sweat test, performed by pilocarpine iontophoresis. In the same patients we have performed skin biopsy to evaluate quantitative and qualitative reduction of sweat glands.
