title: Increased cutaneous fibrinolytic activity in a case of aquagenic pruritus.
abstract: Cutaneous fibrinolytic activity was found to be increased in a patient with aquagenic pruritus both before and after contact with water. This could explain the lack of wheal formation in this affection, which is characterized by increased histamine release.
