“…In addition to anhidrosis, ISPF presents characteristic onset symptoms such as skin dysaesthesia, itching, and red eruptions, and the pathogenesis involves a steroid responsive immunological process that inhibits the transduction signal of cholinergic nerves to sweat gland receptors, altering the muscarinic receptor of acetylcholine. 15 SGF is characterised by sweat gland immunological deposits and by a poor response to steroids. 16 Immunologically related anhidrosis characterising AIGA is different from anhidrosis caused by CED or Ross syndrome (RS), which involves a degenerative pathogenesis without immunological implication.…”
