In Thailand, anorexia nervosa (AN) has rarely been reported. We report a 13- year-old female adolescent with AN restrictive type, the first from Thailand to meet all Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition - Text Revision (DSM IVTR) criteria for AN. The emergence of a patient with AN in Khon Kaen, a province from the region with the lowest gross domestic product, accentuates the existence of eating disorders in adolescents beyond Thailand capital. Future studies considering sociocultural issues on normal eating attitudes, eating behaviors and body image in Thailand should be conducted.
在泰国，神经性厌食症（AN）很少见。我们报告了一例 13 岁的女性青少年神经性厌食症限制型，这是首例符合《精神障碍诊断与统计手册》第四版修订版（DSM-IV-TR）所有 AN 标准的泰国病例。在孔敬府出现了一名神经性厌食症患者，该省的国内生产总值最低，这凸显了除泰国首都以外的青少年中存在饮食失调问题。未来的研究应考虑泰国正常饮食态度、饮食行为和体像的社会文化问题。
