We conducted a study of the prevalence and clinical characteristics of aquagenic pruritus (AP) in 996 employees at a general hospital. Forty-five of them claimed that they had AP, thus giving a reported prevalence of 4.5%; 12 were excluded for various reasons and a detailed workup was carried out in 33 people. In more than 75% of the cases AP had started before age 30 and lasted for over 10 years in 42%. The onset of AP occurred within 5 min of exposure in 76% of the cases and usually lasted between 10 and 30 min. In most cases no association could be demonstrated between AP and each of the following factors: place, season, time of day, water temperature, type of soap, towelling or mental stress. AP in at least one other family member was found in 33% of the cases.
我们对一家综合医院的996名员工进行了一项关于水源性瘙痒（AP）患病率及临床特征的研究。其中45人声称自己患有AP，报告患病率为4.5%；12人因各种原因被排除，对33人进行了详细检查。超过75%的病例中，AP在30岁之前发病，42%的病例持续超过10年。76%的病例中，AP在接触水后5分钟内发作，通常持续10至30分钟。在大多数情况下，AP与以下因素之间均无关联：地点、季节、一天中的时间、水温、肥皂类型、毛巾或精神压力。33%的病例中发现至少有一名其他家庭成员患有AP。
