Blue Chromhidrosis "Smurf Syndrome" by Miss Xi Chen - Presentation in a Prize session at The Royal Society of Medicine


Last night our researcher, Miss Xi Chen, presented a fascinating case of Blue Chromhidrosis (blue coloured sweat) at the Prize Session of the Clinical Section of the Royal Society of Medicine.

Xi Chen is an anatomy student in Liverpool who gave up her summer to do research at The Whiteley Clinic.

She spent 3 months with us and has several research projects underway - the first to bear fruit was this case report.

It is a fascinating case of a lady in her 60's who started sweating blue coloured sweat last Christmas - a condition called Chromhidrosis and we have called "Smurf Syndrome" for obvious reasons. This is very rare and has not been reported in a post-menopausal lady before.

The full case report and literature review is being prepared by Miss Xi Chen for publication in the peer reviewed journals.
