ABSTRACT
Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA) is a very rare disease, and its pathogenesis is poorly understood. We here report on a 20-year-old man presenting with a history of inability to sweat, small wheals, and occasional heat intolerance since 3 months. On provocation test, there was no sweating over the entire surface of the body, excluding the palms and axillae. His medical history was unremarkable and laboratory examination findings were all normal. There was no familial history suggestive of neuroendocrine disease. Based on these findings, we diagnosed acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of AIGA in Korean dermatologic literature. Herein, we report a rare case of AIGA.
