Abstract
A simple patch test, designed as a screening test for cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, is reported in preliminary form. In trials carried out with 207 patients it has proved accurate and reliable. A brief resume of the physiology of sweating, especially as pertinent to diagnostic methods in pediatrics, is also presented. Studies are in progress aiming toward further refinement of this method.
