title: [The usefulness of the conduction sweat test in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis].
abstract: In this paper we present a new test for evaluating the conductivity of sweat--an alternative to the classic Gibson-Cooke test used in diagnosis cystic fibrosis. Comparison of the results of 45 subjects (26 with cystic fibrosis and 19 with other diseases) showed a significant correlation between the two tests (r = 0.923, p < 0.001). The conductometric Wescor test should be included in diagnostic procedures for cystic fibrosis.
