The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome, which is associated with the ingestion of L-tryptophan that contained products, occurred as an epidemic in the United States in 1989. Eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome is similar in many ways to the toxic-oil syndrome, which occurred in Spain in 1981, and to diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia, which has been noted since 1974 to occur sporadically. Recent studies have clarified the epidemiology, histopathology, and clinical features of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. These studies are reviewed, and comparisons to the related syndromes, toxic-oil syndrome and diffuse fasciitis with eosinophilia, are made.
嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征与摄入含L-色氨酸的产品有关,1989年在美国呈流行态势。嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征在许多方面与1981年在西班牙出现的有毒油综合征以及自1974年以来偶尔出现的嗜酸性粒细胞增多性弥漫性筋膜炎相似。最近的研究阐明了嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征的流行病学、组织病理学和临床特征。本文对这些研究进行了综述,并与相关综合征——有毒油综合征和嗜酸性粒细胞增多性弥漫性筋膜炎进行了比较。
