Abstract
Despite its desquamative effect, oral etretinate had no normalizing effect on the increased basal transepidermal water loss in 3 patients with lamellar ichthyosis. Neither was any improvement achieved during treatment in the defective sweat gland function as measured after stimulation by intracutaneously injected methacholine chloride solution.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
