Generalized anhidrosis.

A nhidrosis is defined as a condition where perspiration does not occur despite adequate and sufficient impulse. 1 This condition may be encountered as localized or diffuse through the whole body. The amount of perspiration caused by temperature, pharmacological agents, and other factors may differ inter-personally.
