Br J Dermatol. 2000 Nov;143(5):1064-6. doi: 10.1046/j.1365-2133.2000.03845.x.

Abstract

Acquired generalized hypohidrosis/anhidrosis is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis, while idiopathic cholinergic urticaria is relatively common. We report the case of a 19-year-old male with cholinergic urticaria and acquired generalized hypohidrosis, and review previously published similar cases of this association.
