Notes:
Autonomic function in patients with cholinergic urticaria and atopic eczema was compared with that in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria and non-atopic allergic contract dermatitis, respectively. Forty-nine patients were studied. The following specific tests of sympathetic and parasympathetic function were used to assess the integrity of autonomic control: pupillary reflex amplitude in response to pulsed light stimulation and response to topical arecoline hydrobromide (parasympathetic); the speed of pupillary dilatation following a large light reflex (sympathetic); pupillary resting diameter (sympathetic and parasympathetic); sweat gland response to forearm intradermal injection of acetylcholine chloride; and the effect of postural change and deep breathing on blood pressure and heart rate (sinus arrhythmia indicating parasympathetic function). No significant difference in autonomic function was found between the four groups of patients.
