Hematohidrosis is an extremely rare condition characterized by the oozing or secretion of blood through intact skin and mucosa, particularly through eccrine glands. Although there is not much literature available on the condition, examples of Hematohidrosis include the crying and sweating of blood. The fluid may have a bloody tinge or may be frank blood. The anomaly has no identifiable etiology, and patients generally present in a good state of health. In this report, we present a 19-year-old female who had weekly occurrences of bloody diaphoresis that had been present consistently for one year. During her presentation at the hematology clinic, she was investigated thoroughly for alternative causes, but none were found. The patient was diagnosed with hematohidrosis and was offered treatment with propranolol, which she declined. She continues to follow up routinely in the hematology clinic with persistent symptoms.
血汗症是一种极为罕见的病症，其特征是血液通过完整的皮肤和黏膜渗出或分泌，尤其是通过汗腺。尽管关于这种病症的文献资料不多，但血汗症的例子包括哭泣时流血和出汗带血。流出的液体可能带有血色，也可能是鲜血。这种异常情况没有可确定的病因，患者通常健康状况良好。在本报告中，我们介绍了一名19岁女性，她每周都会出现血汗症，这种情况持续了一年。在她到血液科门诊就诊时，对其他可能的病因进行了全面检查，但未发现任何异常。该患者被诊断为血汗症，并提供了普萘洛尔治疗，但她拒绝了。她因症状持续，继续在血液科门诊定期随访。
