To describe the development of tremor, myoclonus, and myokymia as chronic sequelae of eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS).
Four patients among a cohort of 57 individuals with EMS followed prospectively were identified to have objective movement disorders. Electrophysiologic findings were assessed by recording of electromyographic activity from pairs of upper extremity antagonist muscles using 2 input channels.
Clinical and electrophysiologic studies documented the presence of tremor (4 patients), myoclonus (3 patients), and myokymia (1 patient) as late sequelae of EMS.
The recognition of these movement disorders extends the spectrum of chronic neurologic disease in EMS.
描述震颤、肌阵挛和肌束震颤作为嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征（EMS）慢性后遗症的发展情况。
在57例前瞻性随访的EMS患者队列中，确定有4例患者存在客观的运动障碍。通过使用2个输入通道记录上肢拮抗肌对的肌电活动来评估电生理结果。
临床和电生理研究记录了震颤（4例患者）、肌阵挛（3例患者）和肌束震颤（1例患者）作为EMS的晚期后遗症。
对这些运动障碍的认识扩展了EMS慢性神经疾病的范围。
