The consistency of de Clérambault's syndrome and its relationship to other diagnostic labels is examined in terms of operational criteria derived from the original description of the syndrome. Five new cases of erotic delusions are examined, and 53 cases reported in the recent literature are reviewed; none of these completely satisfies the diagnostic criteria, while the majority of patients actually suffered from another disorder, most commonly schizophrenia. The justification for the retention of the syndrome as a nosological entity is discussed, and it is argued that the term should be seen as principally of historical interest.
根据从该综合征原始描述中得出的操作标准，对克莱朗博综合征的一致性及其与其他诊断标签的关系进行了研究。对5例新的色情妄想病例进行了检查，并回顾了近期文献中报道的53例病例；这些病例均未完全符合诊断标准，而大多数患者实际上患有另一种疾病，最常见的是精神分裂症。讨论了将该综合征保留为一种疾病实体的理由，并认为该术语应主要被视为具有历史意义。
