Sir: Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED) is a rare and often hereditary (X-linked or
autosomal recessive) disorder characterised by a triad of partial or complete absence of
eccrine sweat glands, sparse hair growth and deficient teeth; it is often associated with
recurrent chest infections and early morbidity and mortality [2] and defects of immune
function have been recognized in some [1] but not all of these patients [3].
