The multiple chemical sensitivity syndrome (MCS) is a novel constellation of symptoms in environmental medicine that has been extensively described and commented on in the USA. The main features of this syndrome are: multiple symptoms in different organ systems triggered by a variety of chemical substances, with relapses and exacerbations under certain precipitating circumstances at very low levels which do not cause any reactions in the population at large. There are no lab markers or specific investigative findings. This paper describes the historical development of the term MCS, its diagnostic criteria and pathophysiological aspects using 10 patient histories from our hospital.
多重化学敏感性综合征（MCS）是环境医学中一组新出现的症状，在美国已得到广泛描述和评论。该综合征的主要特征是：多种化学物质引发不同器官系统出现多种症状，在极低水平的某些诱发情况下会复发和加重，而这些水平在普通人群中不会引起任何反应。不存在实验室标志物或特异性检查结果。本文利用我院10例患者的病史描述了MCS这一术语的历史发展、诊断标准及病理生理学方面的情况。
