Essential hyperhidrosis in Turner syndrome.
We describe two Turner patients suffering from severe essential hyperhidrosis. Since both disorders are rare (1 in 5000 live female births for Turner syndrome and approximately 1 in 1000 persons for essential hyperhidrosis), our finding of two patients with these disorders in a total of 150 essential hyperhidrosis patients may suggest that this association is more frequent in Turner syndrome than previously thought.
