Causes Genetic mutations Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis ( CIPA ) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the nervous system which prevents the feeling of pain or temperature and prevents a person from sweating.
The treatment options for hypohidrosis and anhidrosis are largely limited to preventing overheating, and attempting to resolve or prevent further deterioration of any known underlying causes. Those with hypohidrosis should avoid drugs that can aggravate the condition (see "Medications", under § Causes). They should limit activities that raise ...
Acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis appears to have a variety of etiologies. Theoretically, dysfunction or degeneration of cholinergic sympathetic nerve fibers involved in sweating (sudomotor neuropathy), dysfunction of acetylcholine receptors and/or cholinergic signals (idiopathic pure sudomotor failure may fall under this category), and primary failures of the sweat glands with ...
Idiopathic pure sudomotor failure (IPSF) is the most common cause of a rare disorder known as acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis (AIGA), a clinical syndrome characterized by generalized decrease or absence of sweating without other autonomic and somatic nervous dysfunctions and without persistent organic cutaneous lesions.
It is a common cause of illness outbreaks on cruise ships, where more than 90% of diarrheal illnesses are attributed to this virus. It also causes outbreaks in schools, day care centers, jails and ...
The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet is an elimination diet designed to help reduce inflammation, manage symptoms and improve quality of life for people with autoimmune diseases.
Treatment of manifestations: Treatment is supportive and is best provided by specialists in pediatrics, orthopedics, dentistry, ophthalmology, and dermatology. For anhidrosis: Monitoring body temperature helps to institute timely measures to prevent/manage hyperthermia or hypothermia.
Although most causes are relatively benign, Horner's syndrome may reflect serious disease in the neck or chest (such as a Pancoast tumor (tumor in the apex of the lung) or thyrocervical venous dilatation). [citation needed] Causes can be divided according to the presence and location of anhidrosis: [citation needed]
