- Title
SULZBERGER ON THE SWEAT GLAND.
- Authors
Dobson, Richard L.
- Abstract
Dermatologist Marion Sulzberger's interest in the sweat gland and its disorders seemed to have begun during World War II when he was a naval medical officer on Guam. He and his collaborators established that inability to sweat as a result of keratotic obstruction of the pore secondary to atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis or atrophy of the skin could result in paroxysmal pruritus on exposure to heat. This led to the development of a new concept, the sweat retention syndrome, as a generic term for the constellation of signs and symptoms resulting from failure to deliver sweat to the skin surface.
