Descriptor English: Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome
Descriptor Spanish: Síndrome de Eosinofilia-Mialgia
Descriptor síndrome de eosinofilia-mialgia
Scope note: Síndrome sistémico complejo con componentes inflamatorio y autoinmunitario que afecta a la piel, fascias, músculos, nervios, vasos sanguíneos, pulmones y corazón. Las características diagnósticas comprenden generalmente EOSINOFILIA, mialgias suficientemente intensas para limitar las actividades usuales de la vida diaria, y ausencia de infecciones, afecciones autoinmunitarias o de otro tipo, coexistentes, que puedan inducir eosinofilia. La biopsia de los tejidos afectados revela una microangiopatía asociada a inflamación difusa en el tejido conectivo (Spitzer et al., J Rheumatol Suppl 1996 Oct;46:73-9; Blackburn WD, Semin Arthritis Rheum 1997 Jun;26(6):788-93)

Scope note: A complex systemic syndrome with inflammatory and autoimmune components that affect the skin, fascia, muscle, nerve, blood vessels, lung, and heart. Diagnostic features generally include EOSINOPHILIA, myalgia severe enough to limit usual activities of daily living, and the absence of coexisting infectious, autoimmune or other conditions that may induce eosinophilia. Biopsy of affected tissue reveals a microangiopathy associated with diffuse inflammation involving connective tissue.
