Abstract

A 61-year-old man who had a 10-year history of anhidrosis was found to have idiopathic diabetes insipidus. He showed no spontaneous sweating or pilocarpine-induced sweat response. Skin pathology showed a normal eccrine gland. Microneurography detected no skin sympathetic nerve activity. Within a month of desmopressin treatment for diabetes insipidus, sweating and skin sympathetic nerve activity returned.
