In spring 1981, thousands of people living in Madrid were intoxicated by adulterated edible oil containing oleoanilide and probably other toxic substances. Due to increasing international travel Swiss doctors may also be faced with this particular disease. The case is reported of a 28-year-old woman who presented in May 1981 with a highly febrile influenza-like syndrome after consuming the adulterated oil while in Madrid. In the following weeks she developed myopathy, characterized by muscular weakness and pain, aldolase elevation and typical electromyographic disturbances, as well as edema and general discomfort. The white cell count showed eosinophilia up to 2170/mm3. Five months later, the symptoms are still continuing. Other members of the family have been exposed to the oleoanilide and exhibited various abnormalities which constitute a new clinical syndrome different from previously reported intoxications by industrial oil.
1981年春,马德里数千居民因食用含有油酰苯胺及可能其他有毒物质的掺假食用油而中毒。由于国际旅行日益增多,瑞士医生也可能会面对这种特殊疾病。本文报告了一名28岁女性的病例,她于1981年5月在马德里食用了掺假食用油后,出现了高热的流感样综合征。在接下来的几周里,她患上了肌病,其特征为肌肉无力和疼痛、醛缩酶升高以及典型的肌电图紊乱,同时伴有水肿和全身不适。白细胞计数显示嗜酸性粒细胞增多,高达2170/mm³。五个月后,症状仍在持续。该家庭的其他成员也接触了油酰苯胺,并表现出各种异常,这些异常构成了一种不同于以往报道的工业用油中毒的新临床综合征。
