  • The study aimed to fill the gap in understanding the epidemiology and healthcare of hyperhidrosis (HH) in Germany, using claims data from a health insurance provider between 2016 and 2020.
  • In 2020, 0.70% of insured adults had a confirmed diagnosis of HH, with most cases being unspecified and localized forms more common in younger individuals, while generalized forms were more prevalent in older adults.

IRAK4 is a kinase that integrates signaling downstream of receptors acting at the interface between innate and adaptive immune responses, such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs), interleukin-1R (IL-1R), and IL-18R.
