Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) has been described as an acquired multiple organ disease typically characterized by central nervous irritative and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Advocates of this suspected syndrome attribute these disorders to overstressing of the organism caused by exposure to external noxae. Opponents of the theory of MCS attribute all the symptoms to classical conditioning or other psychopathological processes. In so far as controlled data exist, there is no indication of a toxic or immunological cause for this syndrome.
多重化学物质敏感症(MCS)被描述为一种后天性多器官疾病,其典型特征为中枢神经刺激性症状和/或胃肠道症状。这种疑似综合征的支持者将这些病症归因于接触外部有害物质导致机体过度应激。多重化学物质敏感症理论的反对者则将所有症状归因于经典条件反射或其他精神病理过程。就现有对照数据而言,尚无迹象表明该综合征存在毒性或免疫方面的病因。
