Abstract Sweat samples collected from different places of the body of four normal and five Cf children were analyzed by PIXE. Comparison were made of sweat rates and sweat thresholds in these two groups of subjects. After presentation of the protocol of the sweat test, sample preparation and PIXE analysis of sweat samples are described. Statistical analysis of data is also developed. Six elements (Na, Cl, Mn, Cu, Br and Ca) are found to be significantly different between the two groups. A multiple regression analysis allows to obtain an equation of the state of health for each patient.
