Fibromyalgia syndrome is characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain and abnormal sensitivity to palpation of characteristic myofascial areas. We evaluated its prevalence in the 673 patients seen as first consultations in a hospital rheumatological outpatient clinic during one year, and we made an automatized review of the Spanish literature about this condition in the last 17 years. We found 70 cases (10.4%) of fibromyalgia syndrome, none of which had been referred to the hospital with this diagnosis. We report their clinical features. In our bibliographical search we found only one article describing this condition. We conclude that it is a common clinical syndrome, unknown in nonspecialized milieus. Generally, the patients are inadequately diagnosed and treated, and/or referred to hospital.
纤维肌痛综合征的特点是全身性肌肉骨骼疼痛以及对特征性肌筋膜区域触诊异常敏感。我们评估了在一年时间里于一家医院风湿门诊首次就诊的673例患者中该综合征的患病率，并对过去17年里关于此病的西班牙文文献进行了自动检索。我们发现了70例（10.4%）纤维肌痛综合征患者，其中无一例是以该诊断被转诊至医院的。我们报告了他们的临床特征。在我们的文献检索中，仅发现一篇描述此病的文章。我们得出结论，这是一种常见的临床综合征，在非专科环境中尚不为人所知。一般来说，患者未得到充分的诊断和治疗，和/或未被转诊至医院。
