“…Numerous reports in the literature state that sweating is absent in CED patients of the 'anhidrotic type' [3,5,10,12]. Verbov [15] performed a study on a small area in the palm and showed, by the black stain method, that sweating does occur there.…”

“…Congenital ectodermal dysplasia (CED) is a familial disease, which gener ally affects males and is attributed to an autosomal dominant or an x-linked recessive trait [2,3,7,11,12], It is characterized by numerous anomalies of the epidermis and appendages resulting from faulty evolution of the epiblastic layer of the blastoderm [5,6,8,10,13]; these give rise to the classical triad of hypotrichosis, anodontia and anhidrosis. According to the traditional classification, there are two types of CED: (1) anhidrotic, in which the eccrine sweat glands are absent or functionally impaired; (2) hidrotic, in which the eccrine sweat glands are normal.…”

Whole body sweat rate in two brothers suffering from congenital ectodermal dysplasia (CED) was measured. At a moderate heat load (DBT 30°C and 50% relative humidity) we found no apparent weight loss due to sweating. At a higher heat load (DBT 36°C, 50% relative humidity) sweating was observed, but only at levels approximately two thirds of those observed in normal controls. In the light of these experimental results, we support the suggestion that the nomenclature for CED patients should be changed. Instead of the present classification of anhidrotic CED and hidrotic CED, it is suggested that the terms hypohidrotic and hidrotic be substituted.

“…It is a rare disease, with about 300 cases reported in the literature 2,3 . Since the first report on familial occurrence of aplasia cutis congenita by Campbell in 1826, many familial cases have been reported 3–7 . Cases of a mother and two of her children with aplasia cutis congenita of the scalp are reported here.…”

“…The first patient was reported by C ampbell [2] in 1826. Most of the reported cases showed lesions which were small and generally limited to the scalp [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Bart [9,10] reported instance with extensive lesions in association with Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica, and suggested a relationship between these two diseases.…”
