The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome is a newly described disorder related to the ingestion of L-tryptophan-containing products. Its presentation may mimic other disorders characterized by eosinophilia and muscle pain and/or weakness, but can be differentiated by certain characteristic laboratory and pathologic findings. We report two such cases, describe their features, and review similar syndromes.
嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征是一种新描述的与摄入含L-色氨酸产品有关的疾病。其表现可能类似于其他以嗜酸性粒细胞增多和肌肉疼痛和/或无力为特征的疾病，但可通过某些特征性的实验室和病理检查结果进行鉴别。我们报告两例此类病例，描述其特征，并回顾类似综合征。
