Psychogenic fever is one of the most common psychosomatic diseases. In Japan, psychogenic fever has generally been reported to occur in adolescents, with a peak seen at age 13. However, in our department we have encountered many adults with psychogenic fever. Therefore, we investigated all outpatients who visited the Psychosomatic Department of the University of Occupational and Environmental Health between April 2003 and March 2007. Of the 2705 outpatients that were seen, 55 patients (2.0%) were diagnosed with psychogenic fever. The patients ranged in age from 11 to 82 years old, with a mean age of 33.6 +/- 17.9 (mean +/- SD) years. In addition to the adolescents, many of the patients were in their 20 s and 30 s, and the male:female ratio was 1:2.2. This study suggests that psychogenic fever commonly occurs not only in adolescents but also in adults.
心因性发热是最常见的身心疾病之一。在日本，心因性发热一般报道发生于青少年，高发年龄为 13 岁。然而，在我们科室遇到了许多成年的心因性发热患者。因此，我们调查了 2003 年 4 月至 2007 年 3 月期间在九州大学保健医疗单位心理生理疾患诊疗部就诊的所有门诊患者。在就诊的 2705 名患者中，有 55 名（2.0%）被诊断为心因性发热。患者年龄 11 至 82 岁，平均年龄为 33.6 +/- 17.9（均数 +/- 标准差）岁。除了青少年，许多患者为 20 多岁和 30 多岁，男女比例为 1:2.2。本研究表明，心因性发热不仅常见于青少年，也常见于成年患者。
