A new technique of collecting sweat for measurement of osmolality and Na concentrations was described. Subjects (82) (39 controls and 43 patients with cystic fibrosis) were studied. Adequate amounts of sweat were obtained in 81 subjects and sweat was analyzed for both osmolality and Na concentrations in 73 subjects. The 34 controls gave sweat osmolality and Na values ranging from 62 to 196 mmol/kg and 9 to 72 mmol/l, respectively. The 39 cystic fibrosis patients gave osmolality values ranging from 220 to 416 mmol/kg and Na concentrations ranging from 60 to 150 mmol/l. Sweat osmolality alone was determined in 8 infants under 50 days of age [4 later developed the clinical features of cystic fibrosis and 4, in whom cystic fibrosis was suspected, were later excluded]. Sweat osmolality values in these 2 groups ranged from 255 to 345 mmol/kg and 87 to 123 mmol/kg, respectively. The simplicity of collecting sweat and the measurement of osmolality offer distinct advantages over techniques previously described.
