The empirical literature that pertains to phobias of blood, injury, or illness (BII) is surveyed. BII phobia is selectively associated with a vasovagal fainting response upon exposure to phobic stimuli, and the clinical entity may represent an exaggeration of a response that is relatively prevalent in the general population. Clinical, demographic and etiological information obtained from a series of 15 BII phobics is presented, and the suggestion is made that this disorder warrants a diagnostic category separate from simple phobia.
本文综述了与血液、损伤或疾病恐惧症（BII）相关的实证文献。BII恐惧症与接触恐惧刺激时的血管迷走性昏厥反应存在选择性关联，这种临床病症可能是一般人群中相对普遍的一种反应的过度表现。文中呈现了从15名BII恐惧症患者系列中获得的临床、人口统计学和病因学信息，并提出这种病症值得有一个与单纯恐惧症相区分的诊断类别。
