Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are among the most common and frustrating in primary care. Our goal was to review published evidence to guide busy general practitioners working with a culturally diverse, challenging patient population coping with MUS. A search of PubMed and PsycINFO from 1985 to the present was conducted using MUS and related terms.The literature was then organised into subcategories based on its relevance to primary care. We conclude with a description of gaps in the literature based on the literature review and the clinical experience of the authors.
医学上无法解释的症状（MUS）是基层医疗中最常见且令人沮丧的问题之一。我们的目标是回顾已发表的证据，以指导忙碌的全科医生，他们面对的是具有文化多样性、难以应对MUS的患者群体。使用MUS及相关术语对1985年至今的PubMed和PsycINFO进行了检索。然后根据文献与基层医疗的相关性将其分为不同类别。基于文献综述和作者的临床经验，我们最后描述了文献中的空白之处。
