Abstract

The eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS) is a rare systemic disease caused by presumably contaminated L-tryptophan. Thirteen outpatients with EMS were found to have a high degree of depression, anxiety, and difficulty adjusting to illness. Pre-EMS history of major depression but not EMS severity predicted poor adjustment to illness.

摘要

嗜酸性粒细胞增多性肌痛综合征（EMS）是一种罕见的全身性疾病，可能由受污染的L-色氨酸引起。研究发现，13名患有EMS的门诊患者有高度的抑郁、焦虑情绪，且难以适应疾病。EMS发作前有重度抑郁病史而非EMS的严重程度可预测对疾病的适应不良。
