Aquagenic pruritus is now a well-recognized symptom complex, usually of unknown origin. A few prove to have polycythemia rubra vera. We describe an important and distinct subset, termed aquagenic pruritus of the elderly, in which old age, dry skin, and seasonal weather conditions are major factors. Unlike other varieties, aquagenic pruritus of the elderly responds to appropriate local measures.
水源性瘙痒现在是一种公认的症状复合体，通常病因不明。少数病例被证明患有真性红细胞增多症。我们描述了一个重要且独特的亚组，称为老年人水源性瘙痒，其中老年、皮肤干燥和季节性天气条件是主要因素。与其他类型不同，老年人水源性瘙痒对适当的局部治疗有反应。
