Demons gives the
history of a case of yellow sweat in a patient with three
intestinal calculi.
Wilson says that cases of green, yellow, and blue perspiration
have been seen, and Hebra, Rayer, and Fuchs mention instances.
Conradi records a case of blue perspiration on one-half the
scrotum. Chojnowski records a case in which the perspiration
resembled milk.
Hyperidrosis occurs as a symptom in many nervous diseases,
organic and functional, and its presence is often difficult of
explanation. The following are recent examples: Kustermann
reports a case of acute myelitis in which there was profuse
perspiration above the level of the girdle-sensation and none at
all below. Sharkey reports a case of tumor of the pons varolii
and left crus cerebri, in which for months there was excessive
generalized perspiration; it finally disappeared without
treatment. Hutchinson describes the case of a woman of sixty-four
who for four years had been troubled by excessive sweating on the
right side of the face and scalp. At times she was also troubled
by an excessive flow of saliva, but she could not say if it was
unilateral. There was great irritation of the right side of the
tongue, and for two years taste was totally abolished.
